Islands’ Sounder in Eastsound, Missouri

Description

The Islands’ Sounder was founded in 1964 by Al and Nickee Magnuson as The Orcas Sounder. It later became The Orcas Island Booster; the Magnusons named it The Islands’ Sounder in 1974. It was a free tabloid that, after 1979, was distributed to every mail address in San Juan County. Ted and Kay Grossman bought the Sounder in November 1985 and converted it into a broadsheet with countywide paid circulation. The Grossmans sold the Sounder in 1994 to Sound Publishing Inc., which is based in Poulsbo, WA. Sound Publishing added a Friday Harbor edition of the Sounder and expanded the newspaper’s coverage of San Juan Island.
