The newspaper began publication in 1895 as the
Bulletin
, later the
Daily Bulletin
and the
Seattle Daily Bulletin
. After merging with the
Times
in 1907 (an unrelated paper to today's
Seattle Times
), it published as the
Morning Times and Seattle Daily Bulletin
for a year before reverting to its old name. It took the name
Daily Journal of Commerce
for the first time in 1919 as the
Daily Journal of Commerce and the Daily Bulletin
, dropping the
Daily Bulletin
portion two years later. "Seattle" was added to the paper's name in 1924. From 1951 to 1956 the paper was published under the name
Seattle Daily Journal of Commerce and Construction Record
, and then as the
Seattle Daily Journal of Commerce and Northwest Construction Record
until 1989, when it once again became simply the
Seattle Daily Journal of Commerce
.
The
Seattle Weekly
ran a profile
[3]
in 2007 about the newspaper and how it is adapting to the internet age.
The paper was printed on a four-unit,
offset printing
press from 1979 until July 2023 when printing transferred over to
The Seattle Times
'
Rotary Offset Press
facility in
Kent
. At that time the daily circulation was 1,500 copies.
