Well, the time has come to say good-bye. I am retiring! After almost 19 years at Q13 (18 years on the morning show!), it’s time to move on and get more sleep! I think my last day will be October 1st. BUT, I may be on air a little on October 4-6 as I train our new morning meteorologist, Brian MacMillan. He is currently working at FOX 12 in Portland, but he and his wife are both natives of Western Washington and their families are here. With 2 young children, he’s thrilled to be closer to his kids’ grandparents.
Meanwhile, I will spend my last 2 weeks here reminiscing about my time at Q13. Here are a couple of photos of our morning anchor team! I consider these colleagues my friends and, over the years, we have shared some amazing times!

Meteorologist, Brian MacMillan, joins the Q13 morning news team.

  • Amazing that a weather person can last so many years at a TV station, these days. Just ask any ex-KING TV meteorologist.

  • I always liked MJ and wish her only the best. I am glad she was able to leave on her own terms. She was good at what she did, always happy and upbeat, and very personable.

    In today's environment Seattle TV is more concerned with how tight a weather a readers clothes are........
