Presses at new Valley site increase versatility
-NORTHWEST OFFSET PRINTING
Northwest Offset Printing started making the Spokesman-Review about a year ago. When CBS Sports was looking for an opening to its preview of the NCAA Men’s Basketball Championship between Gonzaga University and Baylor last month, Northwest Offset Printing got the call. “I was contacted by the CBS production crew in New York,” says Julie Yake, Northwest Offset’s sales and marketing director. “They filmed on site. They wanted to capture our local newspaper (the Spokesman-Review) rolling the presses on Zags’ stories.” The images depicted a state-of-the-art press churning out papers at the plant, located at 19223 E. Euclid in Spokane Valley. The new facility marks a shift to an emerging industrial area for operations that had been in downtown Spokane for more than a century.
