The Seattle Medium is an African-American newspaper that serves Seattle, Washington. It was founded in January 1970, and bore the name The Medium from 1970 to 1983.[3]

In its early days, the paper employed as many as 50 staff.[4]

In 2014 the Medium completed a redesign, and remained committed to publishing in print as well as online.[4]

The paper won three National Newspaper Publishers Association awards in 2021, including first place in the "Best Original Advertising" category.[5]
