Northwest Asian Weekly made the announcement Thursday in its online edition saying it would update its website on a more frequent basis.
Its companion newspaper, the Chinese language Seattle Chinese Post will end publication completely with its last edition also on January 21.
“For the past four decades, we have witnessed nothing but miracles which inspired us to develop quality work and survive through our struggles. We’ve been able to persevere for so long because of our advertisers and loyal readers. Your support has been unwavering. For that, we are profoundly grateful,” it said.
It vowed to continue its award-winning journalism and said it would continue to serve the community.
