The Goldendale Sentinel is a newspaper that covers local news about Goldendale and the surrounding Klickitat county region of the U.S. state of Washington.[2] It is the oldest paper in eastern Washington.[3] It is recognized by Klickitat County as a community media source.[4] Lou Marzeles is the current editor and publisher of the paper. It is owned by Tartan Publications Inc., Leslie Geatches, President.[5]

History

The 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]
