A little history …
Shirley Larmore founded the Sequim Gazette in January 1974. Started as The Sequim Shopper, Shirley and her husband Bob quickly transformed this free distribution shopper into a weekly community newspaper, The Jimmy Come Lately Gazette on July 10, 1974.
In 1978 Shirley sold The Jimmy Come Lately Gazette to Leonard and Linda Paulsen. Leonard was publisher until his death in 1982 and Linda Paulsen carried on as publisher until she sold the newspaper to current owner, Brown McClatchy Maloney in September 1988.
In April of 1990 a re-design of the paper brought about a change in the masthead and Jimmy Come Lately was dropped. However, some long time community members still refer to the Gazette as "the Jimmy."
