On July 15, 1935, the first issue ofBremerton Sun was published. It was created by theScripps League Newspapers and was a sister publication ofThe Seattle Star. Its first editor was Julius Gius.[3] In 1940, E. W. Scripps and J. G. Scripps, controlling stockholders of the company, agreed to sell a major interest in theSun to their cousin John P. Scripps and his company calledJohn P. Scripps Newspaper Group.[4]
In June 1984, the paper formally changed its name from theBremerton Sun toThe Sun.[5] The paper was merged with theE. W.
