The Forks Forum is a weekly newspaper published on Thursdays serving the city of Forks in the U.S. state of Washington.[2] [3]
This newspaper was established in 1931 to serve Forks and the surrounding rural communities of the western Olympic Peninsula.[4] Newspaper publishing on the coast side of the Olympic Peninsula had been underway since 1890.
In 1990, the Forum-Peninsula Herald was sold by Lorraine Maris to Maloney Publishing Co. Maloney also owned the Jimmy Come Lately Gazette in Sequim and the monthly Peninsula Business Journal.[5]
Throughout its history the Forum has been notable as the "Farthest west newspaper in the contiguous United States."
Sound Publishing, a division of Canada-based Black Press Group, purchased The Forks Forum in October 2011 from previous owners Olympic View Publishing Company.[6]
In early 2020, The Forks Forum went entirely digital due to COVID-19 setbacks and returned in May 2020 with a broadsheet format rather than their former tabloid-sized format.[7]
