The Arlington Times is a newspaper in Arlington, Washington, published weekly since 1888. It is owned by Sound Publishing, who also operate the Marysville Globe and Everett Daily Herald.

History

The Arlington Times began in 1888 as the Stillaguamish Times, published in Stanwood to the west of modern-day Arlington. Publisher George Morrill moved the printing plant to Haller City in 1890, becoming The Haller City Times, until moving into Arlington in 1894.[2] It later absorbed the Haller City News, which had been published since 1879.[1] On July 17, 1897, the newspaper was renamed to The Arlington Times.[3][4]

The newspaper was owned by the Marsh family until 1964, when it was sold to future state representative Simeon R. Wilson, owner and publisher of the Marysville Globe.[5] Wilson sold The Times and Globe to Sun News in 1997. Sound Publishing acquired both newspapers from Sun News in 2007.[6][7]
