About

Early in 1889 it became apparent that if the territorial capital of Olympia were to be named the capital city when Washington was granted statehood, an all-out campaign would have to be organized. The editor of The Washington Standard realized his weekly newspaper would not be sufficient to carry out the campaign city officials had organized. Thus The Evening Olympian came into being to lead the fight to preserve Olympia's status as capital city.

The Washington Standard, a weekly paper started November 17, 1860 moved into a new building in 1865 at the corner of Second and Washington streets. On February 16, 1889 it became a daily paper called The Daily Olympian and occupied this building until 1906 when it merged with the Morning Olympian.

First home of the Morning Olympian still stand at Legion Way and Washington.

The Olympian and The Daily Recorder merged in 1928 when they moved into this new building at the corner of State and Capitol Way.

On July 1, 1971, Gannett Company, Inc. acquired The Daily Olympian as a part of Federated Publications. The name was shortened to The Olympian in February, 1982.

With completion of its new building, The Olympian began publishing as an offset newspaper on May 1, 1972.

In September of 2005, The Olympian was traded by Gannett Company, Inc., along with the Bellingham and Boise newspapers, to Knight Ridder in exchange for the Tallahassee Democrat. Nine months later, Knight Ridder was purchased by The McClatchy Company.

Today, The Olympian continues to be the trusted source in print and online of news and information about the South Sound. We report the news of Thurston county where you read it, in print, online, Facebook and Twitter. No other source has as many local reporters and photographers covering Thurston County as The Olympian.

DO NOT BUY SUBSCRIPTION

This looks nice, but when you buy the digital subscription ($99.99 for 1 year) it will only work on the iPad. You cannot access digital through any other platform, so not on your PC. You might want to do that(for sharing stories or commenting) and the Olympian website says all platforms are included with a digital subscription but they have this one walled off from the others. Their customer service people are completely stumped about it. I've tried for 3 months to get it resolved. They keep telling me it's an iTunes problem. The folks at Apple are very understanding. They are refunding my full subscription, not pro-rating as they usually do when a subscription is cancelled, because this one never worked right. They cannot, however, help the Olympian with their digital interface issues, and I wouldn't expect them to. I find it kind of sad that customer service people at the Olympian seem to think they should. No wonder newspapers are dying. Evolve already!

Really, Olympian?

This was a great app for awhile, but stopped working a few months ago. Customer service told us then to wait awhile and try again. Still doesn't work. On the bright side, they did credit our account for the first month it didn't work. We'll be calling again for another credit.

Accounts Framework
The Accounts framework provides access to user accounts stored in the Accounts database. An account stores the login credentials of a particular service, such as Twitter, that can be used as authentication for the service. By implementing the Accounts framework into your app, you do not need to be responsible for storing account logins yourself. Instead, the user can grant access for your app to use their account login credentials, bypassing the need to type their username and password. If no account for a particular service exists in the user’s Accounts database, you can let them create and save an account from within your app.
Address Book
The Address Book framework provides access to a centralized contacts database, called the Address Book database, that stores a user’s contacts. Applications such as Mail and Messages use this database to present information about known and unknown persons.
