The San Juan Islander [1] (originally the Islander [2]) was a weekly newspaper published every Thursday [3] that covered the San Juan Islands community in Friday Harbor, Washington. [1] Because the San Juan Island community consisted of mostly farmers and fishermen, the newspaper focused on commodity prices, agricultural production, and movements of nearby shipping vessels. [4] Under the name The Islander, the paper was published by James Cooper Wheeler [5] from 1891 to 1899 [5] before being bought by Fred and Otis Culver, who changed its name. [2] The paper was eventually sold to John N. Dickie in 1913 and finally ceased production in 1914. [6] The paper continued to be produced under the name the San Juan Islander from Feb. 24, 1898 to 1914. [7]
The website of the same name has been online since about 1999, and does not appear to have any connection to the original newspaper. [8]
