Scope and content
The Suburban Times was a local newspaper created by the Meadowdale Publishing Company, beginning in 1963. It was the successor of Tacoma Suburban Times, which was established in January 1961 by combining The Lakewood Log (est. in 1937) and Suburban Press. The print newspaper served Pierce County local news as well as neighboring McChord Air Force Base and Fort Lewis, which has since combined to Joint Base Lewis-McChord.
In 1980 the publication would become the Lakewood Suburban Times, reverting to The Suburban Times after January 20, 1981. The Publication would end entirely in 1982. In 2005, the publication would become an online newspaper and community space.
Holdings: Print, 1963-1972 (bound), 1973-1978, Jan. 1981-Jan. 1982.
