The publication was founded by Carol Edwards in 1976.[6][7] Edwards, originally from Seattle, moved to Woodinville that year from Riverside, California and started the paper at her home with a printing press she purchased at a garage sale.[7][8] The first edition was published on November 1, 1976, and began free mail distribution to Woodinville residents in 1978.[9]
According to the newspaper, it had a circulation of 30,000 in 2009.[10]
In July 2019, the Weekly, along with Northlake News and Valley, was sold by owner Julie Boselly to the Bellevue-based Eastside Media Corp.[11]
