Lynnwood Times

The Lynnwood Times is an independently owned local news outlet serving Lynnwood, Washington, and surrounding Snohomish County communities, founded and run by Mario Lotmore. Lotmore ran as a Republican candidate for Washington state Senate in 2018, and critics — including a former Seattle Times executive editor — have noted a right-leaning tilt in coverage and editorial choices. Its coverage of the Trump administration is mixed: it reports federal policy changes in largely factual terms while also covering the local negative impacts of those policies, such as FEMA grant denials and SNAP benefit cuts affecting Washington residents.
