The publication was founded by Carol Edwards in 1976. 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. The first edition was published on November 1, 1976, and began free mail distribution to Woodinville residents in 1978. According to the newspaper, it had a circulation of 30,000 in 2009. In July 2019, the
Weekly, along with
Northlake News and
Valley, was sold by owner Julie Boselly to the
Bellevue-based Eastside Media Corp. In December 2024, the paper ceased its print edition and went online-only. ==See also==
