A legendary Seattle TV and Radio reporter has passed away



Bryan Johnson, who worked for both KOMO radio and TV, and who covered some of the biggest stories in Seattle and Washington history, has passed away.   Mr. Johnson was 89.  KOMO anchor/reporter Mary Nam visited with him two years ago and filed this story about him and his legendary career.  A sad day for the KOMO family and his.   RIP, sir.

    This is definitely a passing worth noting. Sadly, KOMO has assembled quite a crew in the great beyond.

      Indeed they have. It does go to show just how many good people KOMO has employed over the years.

    I am saddened to learn of Bryan's passing. He was an excellent reporter with a unique way of storytelling and a strong BS detector that few have been able to rival. He was one of a kind, and will be deeply missed. My condolences to his family, friends, and colleagues.

    There were certainly some great JOURNALISTS at KOMO "back in the day"
    Bryan Johnson, Bob Throndsen, Kathi Goertzen, Bill Brubaker, Milt Furness, John Sandifer, along with Steve Pool and Bruce King. Real broadcast journalists. Miss those newscasts
