"It's no wonder local newspapers are in trouble, with the way that the Seattle Times does business. I've been a subscriber for over 40 years - that's right, 40 years - and a few months ago changed to a digital only subscription. With the print subscription, you paid every 3 three months. What I was not told was that with the digital subscription you needed to be on auto pay for a monthly payment. As a result, when my three month payment had been used up, my account was cancelled. No email or other notice that the funds needed to be put on auto pay, just an immediate cancellation of my subscription. So, this is how they treat a decades-long customer. No wonder they are in trouble. I suspect this lack of attention to customer service has cost them other subscribers."

"This is one of those scammy companies that puts up many obstacles for customers wishing to cancel a subscription. Firstly, they pretend it is 1979 still and one must call. That should be enough to prevent anyone from subscribing."

"The paper is good, imo, but I have been trying for 1.5 years to cancel the physical paper delivery on Sundays. I have called 7 times now and still get the paper. Why is this so hard? I read online and don't want the waste of a printed paper. Seattle Times, do better."

"Interested in supporting our local paper although we shouldn't print as much. Sign up and was told no obligation! Got some swag for it, only did this as my 5 yo like the comic and wanted him to read more. Call to cancel and told I signed a contract which the rep explicitly told us no obligation and the document I signed had no contractual obligations. They charged us for the swag and charge us for one more Sunday cycle! This is not ethical business practice and will contribute to their decline!"

"A simple cancel request call leads into a major annoyance. The rep does not want to hear a simple request."
