I cover how Seattle's decisions change life on its blocks — who gets housing, where the buses run, and what City Hall chooses to fund. I'm the founder and Editor-in-Chief of SeattleCentury, where I set the daily assignments and edit every story before publication. Before starting the site, I spent nearly two decades reporting in Pacific Northwest newsrooms, with a focus on local government and transit policy. That work still shapes our coverage: following decisions beyond the council vote to show what they mean for the neighborhoods affected. I earned my journalism degree from the University of Washington. I still make the occasional cable-news rounds to talk through the week's biggest city stories — same eye for the neighborhood angle, just a shorter word count.
