In 1881, the Seattle newspaper the Intelligencer combines with the Post to become the Post-Intelligencer.
The Intelligencer was founded in Seattle in 1867.
By 1921, William Randolph Hearst (1863-1951) had taken over the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. This was not announced but rather revealed when Hearst's first editorial appeared in the paper on December 27, 1921.
