[WSBAPT] Publication of Notice to Creditors in Cowlitz County

[Nick Pleasants]

Jon,
I think you are stuck. The Washington Probate list of newspapers only lists the Longview Daily News https://www.wa-probate.com/legal-newspapers/
I have noticed in counties with only a single paper, prices have been going up sharply.
Something I have been thinking about doing is trying to authorize online-only notice to creditors. Ontario did this with Estably, and it looks fantastic https://notice.estateably.com/all-notices
Definitely something worth considering, especially with experiences like yours.
Best,
Nick

Subject: [WSBAPT] Publication of Notice to Creditors in Cowlitz County

Is there any alternative to using The Daily News to publish a Notice to Creditors in Cowlitz County?  I was shocked at their quote of $835 since I regularly pay $130 to publish in Vancouver Busines Journal in Clark County.
