History
editThe paper began publication in 1879 [6] when two papers, the Klickitat Sentinel (founded 1879)[7] and Goldendale Gazette, were purchased and merged.[8][3] In 1974, the Goldendale Sentinel was sold to Eagle Newspapers.[9] The company sold the paper to A.J. and Lynda McNab ten years later. In 2010, the paper was purchased by Leslie Geatches.[10]
