A lot can change in a year.
I've been officially named the KING 5 Media Group's 'New Day Northwest' Host.
It didn’t happen overnight. I’ve been working hard for this for over 15 years. I’ve been dreaming of this for over three decades.
I hope you’ll let this hometown kid show you how much I deeply care for this city and its community.
I love King. I’ve worked in almost every single department. Before that reporting in Montana and San Diego. But my dream was always to make it back home... to the home team.
12 years ago it was an honor and privilege to walk into these doors as a news producer for Jean Enersen and Dennis Bounds.
Today, I walk into a new set of doors as the official host of New Day Northwest. I will continue to tell the communities stories and shed light on this fabulous city. Storytelling has always been my passion. Now, It’s my turn to hopefully tell yours.
It’s a new day...
Watch me on my first official day this *Monday where I give a big thank you to everyone who has been rooting me on. A special thanks to Jay Yovanovich and Christy Moreno who truly made dreams come true.

Today marks my last day in the wonderful world of media as I bid a fond adieu to KING5 and all the great clients and co-workers I have worked with for the past almost 13 years. I've loved my decades long career in advertising sales starting at a daily newspaper in the 70's, moving over to radio where I worked for decades and landing in television as my last stop. I'm super excited to begin my retirement chapter tomorrow as I fly down to Houston to spend ten days with my son hunting for a second home there. My Seattle home will be rented for the first year and then I will start spending summers and falls back in Seattle in 2026. To say that I have been blessed is putting it mildly. My career allowed me to support a family, put my kids through college and travel the world. Now it's time to be closer to at least two of my kids, join a scrapbook, bunco and book club group in Houston, meet the new neighbors and start making new friends. Thank you to my beloved hometown of Seattle, to West Seattle the best hood ever and to all the grand and wonderful friends I have made since I moved back here in 1996.

Almost impossible to fill the shows of the original host, the legendary Margaret Larson.
