East County News

Oct. 29, 2012. McCleary itself has not had a weekly newspaper since the early 1960s. Currently there are two regional weeklies that include coverage of the town. The East County News began in the 1980s and is basically a collection of articles gathered from the Daily World (Aberdeen, Wash.). It is a free newspaper.

The Montesano Vidette, which began in the 1880s and is the oldest newspaper in the county in spite of the title changes, is subscription-based and includes McCleary news.
