The
Lynden Tribune was first published on July 9, 1908. Charles D. Jones was editor and H. E. Stuart was business manager. The duo had purchased the equipment and subscription list of the
Lynden Sun-Pilot, which had formed in 1905 after C. A. Sluss purchased the
Lynden Sun and
Pacific Pilot and consolidated them together. In their first editorial addressed "To The People of Lynden," the two wrote: In early 1909, the
Tribune had been purchased by Dan Cloud, former editor of the
Tacoma Daily News. At that time the paper was inherited by his sons William R. "Bill" and Julian M. Lewis. He obtained full ownership after his father Julian Lewis retired in 1992. That same year the paper's owner shuttered its press. The printing of the paper was transferred to a facility run by the
Skagit Valley Herald. == References ==
