Skagit Valley Herald is a daily newspaper serving Skagit County, Washington. The paper was founded in 1884 as The Skagit News, a weekly newspaper. In 1913, it was renamed Mount Vernon Herald and transitioned to daily delivery in 1922. It has been known as Skagit Valley Herald since 1956. The current publisher is Heather Hernandez.
In 1964, the paper was sold to the newly-created Skagit Valley Publishing Co., affiliated with Scripps League Newspapers. Since 1986, the paper has been owned by Skagit Publishing, now part of Pioneer News Group.
Skagit Publishing also publishes weekly newspapers Courier-Times, which primarily serves the community of Sedro-Woolley, and The Argus. Both papers share the same newsroom and staff as the Herald.
