When I was a kid, the Daily Olympian (as it was called back then) was an unapologetic right-wing newspaper, specializing in lurid car crash photos on the top of the fold. On Sunday, the comics section was not in color, but it was printed on pink paper (!?!) We had another paper here in town, a weekly, called The Olympia News, which, as I recall, made the Daily Olympian look like the New Yorker. That newspaper was headquartered where Canvas Works now resides. The Daily Olympian was stationed on the SE corner of Capitol and State.
