Seattle Times Information Bureau, circa 1927
Order an ImageSometime after the Seattle Times moved to its new building in 1916, the newspaper opened its Information Bureau. Anyone could call the bureau between 7:00 am and 9:00 pm to get answers to all kinds of questions, from ferry times to sports information. The bureau's staff answered callers' questions using maps, city directories, biographical reference books, sports almanacs, and many other resources.
