INVESTIGATIVE JOURNALISM FUND

SUPPORTING JOURNALISM THAT HOLDS POWER ACCOUNTABLE AND DRIVES CHANGE

Local investigative journalism exposes injustice, fights corruption and rights wrongs.

Seattle Times investigative journalism has a direct impact on our community, changing lives and public policy and resulting in action at the highest levels of state government. Your support of the Investigative Journalism Fund will enable us to expand our coverage and accomplish even more.

Jonathan Martin

“Investigative reporting is fundamental to the civic mission of The Seattle Times. It is vital for a healthy, transparent democracy as a check on power and a voice for the silenced.”

JONATHAN MARTIN Investigations editor

“Investigative journalism allows us to untangle needless suffering, show the root of harm — where systems fail, corporate fallibility festers, when government is no longer acting in the public good — and hold us accountable to one another as a society.”

REBECCA MOSS Investigative reporter
Rebecca Moss
Patrick Malone

“Investigative journalism is a pillar of democracy. It exposes hidden truths about powerful people and institutions that control other people’s fortunes, which too often evade accountability elsewhere.”

PATRICK MALONE Investigative reporter

“Investigative journalism holds the region’s most powerful accountable for their actions and gives residents the information they need to constantly improve conditions for our most vulnerable. It is key to strengthening our community.”

LULU RAMADAN Investigative reporter
Lulu Ramadan
Mike Reicher

“Holding the powerful to account is the most important role journalism can play. As investigative reporters we hope to reveal the secrets leaders conceal — those that impact our lives in ways previously unknown.”

MIKE REICHER Investigative reporter

Changing lives and public policy

The Seattle Times has an established track record of digging deep to tackle urgent community issues head-on, surfacing viable solutions and creating change that has a direct impact on our region. Seattle Times investigations have saved local lives from dangerous painkillers, protected vulnerable seniors from abuse, made airplanes safer and are working tirelessly to provide police accountability and government transparency to protect our community and the public’s right to know.

Police Accountability

The Seattle Times investigative team, working with reporters on the metro staff, probed deeply into the Manuel Ellis case, a sidewalk stop that resulted in the death of a Tacoma man after officers tased him and used a chokehold on him. After our reporting revealed details of what happened to Ellis, the state Attorney General filed felony charges against three Tacoma police officers, despite the Tacoma police’s botched investigation, a historic shift emphasizing the impact of persistent accountability.

Public records and government transparency

The Seattle Times sued the city of Seattle for violating the Public Records Act after the city lost, withheld or destroyed records the Times had requested from Mayor Jenny Durkan, including text messages that by law were required to be retained. Our community relies on access to government records, which in this case could help explain how decisions were made at City Hall during the turbulent weeks of civil rights protests in the city. Our watchdog journalism fights for government transparency and citizens’ right to know. The Seattle Times also revealed that the $872 million Best Starts for Kids levy didn’t tell King County voters the full story, reported only on achievements (not “both achievements and failures,” as officials promised) and didn’t publicly report whether the programs achieved the goals they agreed to in contracts.

Sexual misconduct in Seattle restaurants

Celebrities are not exempt from accountability. The Seattle Times has extensively covered two-time James Beard Award-winning local chef and restaurant owner Edouardo Jordan. We also investigated allegations of sexual misconduct and unwanted touching against him from 15 different women. After our story published, nearly all of his restaurant staff quit, and Jordan posted a lengthy apology acknowledging for the first time that he “hurt and mistreated” many co-workers and subordinates.

Environmental journalism

As unprecedented climate change threatens our planet, The Seattle Times investigates environmental threats facing our region, including wildfires caused by crackling hot power lines. Residents have little recourse when power line fires burn down their homes. Washington lags behind other states in holding electric utilities accountable, despite decades of damage. Our work also helps prevent the next tragedy: Public officials claimed the Oso landslide was “unforeseen,” but we revealed there were decades of warning signs, and Gov. Inslee signed a bill requiring the state to share mapping of geologic hazards that threaten citizens.

The Seattle Times difference

The Seattle Times is proud to be one of the few remaining local independent news organizations and the most-visited digital news source in Washington state. A trusted local institution since 1896, The Seattle Times remains deeply rooted in public service and committed to serving our region with principled, quality journalism. Rigorously reported, in-depth investigations have helped earn The Seattle Times 11 Pulitzer Prizes, more than any other news organization in the Northwest.
