I’m a Seattle-based journalist with a passion for serious local-level public interest journalism. Currently, I cover King County government, Sound Transit, and related affairs for Seattle Weekly. In this capacity, I’ve covered how opioid addicts have to travel hours across the county to get treatment and why a handful of undocumented immigrant youth who were separated from their families at the border under Trump’s “zero tolerance” immigration policy are currently confined in a Seattle shelter run by a local non-profit.
