Encyclopedia : S : SE : SEA : Seattle Star
The Seattle Star was a free, neighborhood newspaper in Seattle, Washington, United States, covering the south and central sections of the city. Founded in 2002 as the South Seattle Star, it changed its name to the Seattle Star in 2004. It was distributed free.
With the May 18-31, 2005, issue, the Star merged with the Seattle Sun to form the Seattle Sun and Star.
One other newspaper has been named The Seattle Star in the city's history: a daily that ran from February 2, 1899, to August 13, 1947. It was owned by E.W. Scripps from 1909 to 1942. All of its assets minus the building and machinery were sold to The Seattle Times for $360,000 in 1947.
