Republishing Guidelines

Yes, unless otherwise noted, you’re welcome to republish InvestigateWest’s original articles and photographs for free, as long as you follow a few simple conditions:

  • You must credit both the author and InvestigateWest in the byline. We prefer: “Author Name, InvestigateWest.”
  • You have to include the tagline provided at the end of the article, which typically reads, “InvestigateWest (investigatewest.org) is an independent news nonprofit dedicated to investigative journalism in the Pacific Northwest. Visit investigatewest.org/newsletters to sign up for weekly updates.”
  • You can write your own headlines as long as they accurately reflect the story.
  • You may not edit our work except to reflect your own editorial style or to update time references (changing “yesterday” to “last week,” for instance).
  • You may use InvestigateWest artwork (photos, illustrations, etc.) ONLY if you publish them alongside the stories with which they originally appeared and do not alter them. You may not separate multimedia elements for standalone use.
  • If you share our stories on social media, we’d appreciate it if you tag us in your posts.

Keep in mind: InvestigateWest sometimes republishes articles from other news outlets and we have no authority to grant republication permission. These stories are identifiable by their bylines and other credits.

We send story alerts to editors at news outlets across the Northwest. Let us know if you want to be included on that list. Questions? Contact us at editors@investigatewest.org.

What’s being billed as one of the world’s largest solar-power plants is to take shape on the east slope of the Cascades near Cle Elum, WA, privately held Teanaway Solar Reserve announced. The firm is headed by Howard Trott, who once managed investments for Seattle telecommunications tycoon Craig McCaw. McCaw is not involved in the project, Trott told Seattle Times reporter Sandi Doughton. The firm also is angling to attract a solar-panel manufacturer to the area to supply its needs.

Meanwhile, in Eugene, OR, Chinese immigrant Ocean Yuan is moving at light speed to sell solar panels made inexpensively in China directly to the public at retail. The horizontally integrated startup just leased a 25,000-square-foot warehouse and took delivery of $1 million worth of solar panels, according to Amy Hsuan of The Oregonian.
