The Marysville Globe was a weekly newspaper based in Marysville, Washington, United States. [2] It is owned by Sound Publishing and published from 1892 to 2020.
T. Hop first published the Marysville Globe on Feb. 2, 1892. He sold to Steve Saunders, [3] who operated it for nine years until selling it in 1901 to Richard Bushell Jr. [4] A year later the paper's printing plant was destroyed in a fire. [5]
Dewitt C. Owen owned and operated the paper for nearly 16 years until his death in 1932. [6] It was then purchased from his estate by Leon L. Stock [7] [8] and he published it for six years until selling the Globe to Walter A. Dudley and his son Gerald. A. Dudley in 1938. [9] They published the paper for five years until Sim R. Wilson purchased it in 1944. [10]
The Wilson family ran the paper until selling it to Sun News, Inc. in 1997. A decade later the company sold the Globe and Arlington Times to Sound Publishing. [11] The company suspended printing of several newspapers, including the Globe and Times, in March 2020 due to the economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. By April, furloughs and layoffs at Sound Publishing left both newspapers without any staff. [12] [13]
Since November 28, 2007, the Marysville Globe delivers one paper to every home with a Marysville address or in the city urban growth boundary/city limits. [14]
