Recovering pencil-pushing notebook scribbler.

What I cover

Everything on the PNW Environmental beat — nearly all of it vicariously through the work of my great corps of reporters.

Favorite hike

Any that takes you at at least 12 miles into Olympic National Park.

Favorite story from the field

The time I was sent out to interview prostitutes and ended up with three guys in my rental car "asking" me to take them to meet a dealer.

If I weren't a journalist, I would be...

I've never been able to answer that question.
