Enumclaw Courier-Herald is a newspaper in Enumclaw, Washington.

History

The Enumclaw Courier-Herald was established in 1933 as a merge of Enumclaw Courier (since 1900) and Enumclaw Herald (since 1908).[2]

The newspaper absorbed the Buckley News Banner in 1973.[3]

The Enumclaw Courier-Herald was purchased by Black Press subsidiary Sound Publishing on 3 June 2008.[4] It had previously been owned by Bill Marcum and the estate of Ted, John, and David Natt.[3]

The Bonney Lake-Sumner Courier-Herald was a sibling publication until it was absorbed into the paper in 2016.[3]

Staff

Kevin Hanson was the editor from 2001 to early 2012, at which time Dennis Box was named editor.[5]

Bill Marcum was the publisher in 2003.[6] In August 2010, the paper announced that Marcum would be leaving the Courier-Herald in September to become regional manager of Nickel Ads in Portland, Oregon. Brennan Purtzer became the new publisher of the Courier-Herald the following October, and left in March 2012.[5]

Headquarters

The newspaper was located at 1627 Cole Street until the building was torn down in 2003-2004. A new building was constructed on the same spot and the paper's staff were moved inside in June 2005. The paper moved around the corner to 1186 Myrtle Avenue in May 2019. That building was put up for sale by the newspaper in April 2024.[3]
