The paper can trace its roots back to the beginning of the weekly Tacoma Ledger by R. F. Radabaugh in 1880. The next year, H. C. Patrick founded The News, another weekly. The two papers became dailies in 1883. The Bakers then bought The News and the Tacoma Ledger in 1918, and all three papers were merged into the Tacoma News Tribune and Ledger.
