Hello! I’m a student and freelance journalist based in Seattle. I primarily cover local politics, but I’m versatile. I’ve reported on government sponsored mass evictions of slum residents in Indonesia’s capital city, Jakarta, the day Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders was shouted off a Seattle stage by black lives matter protesters, the local movement for safe drug consumption sites, and the racial segregationist origins of Seattle’s urban planning. My reporting and photography have appeared in the likes of The Jakarta Post, Seattle Weekly, and Seattle Met Magazine. Currently, I’m finishing my bachelor’s degree in journalism and political science with a minor in comparative Islamic studies at the University of Washington.

For work, tips, and general inquiries shoot me an email at joshkelety@gmail.com or get at me on Twitter. You can also connect with me on LinkedIn. And here’s my resume.
