Seattle Home Show and The Seattle Times Join in Partnership

The Seattle Home Show announces a new partnership with The Seattle Times, adding its print and online marketing power to further enhance the show’s dominant industry position in the Pacific Northwest. The Master Builders Association of King and Snohomish Counties remains the Seattle Home Show’s other major partner continuing a long-time relationship.

“The Seattle Home Show is very excited to join with The Seattle Times,” says Michael Kalian, Managing Director of the Seattle Home Show. “This partnership will increase the show’s visibility as The Seattle Times – in print and online – reaches more than 1.7 million adults in Western Washington.” The Seattle Home Show was founded in 1939 and celebrated its 66th anniversary earlier this year.

“We are very pleased to partner with the Master Builders and the Seattle Home Show,” said Mei-Mei Chan, Vice President of Advertising for The Seattle Times. “The Seattle Home Show is a very successful, well-run operation, and we’re pleased to add to its success with the power of our print and online media network.”

The Master Builders Association and its member exhibitors will benefit from this new partnership and welcomes The Seattle Times as a co-presenting sponsor. “Our association and our members are excited for this new chapter of Seattle Home Show history to begin. We welcome The Seattle Times as co-presenting sponsor,” said Sam Anderson, Executive Officer.

“We have long served the advertising needs of many of the show exhibitors by helping them reach the highest quality prospects in the marketplace,” said Chan. “The partnership with the Seattle Home Show is a way to further support their success, as well as to help home owners find solutions to their home-improvement needs.”
