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!

Loved your blazers and your weather reporting. Will really miss you. Enjoy your retirement!
My heart is broken! You have been my favorite meteorologist for years and years! It’s too bad they couldn’t move you to a different time slot! You were the most knowledgeable and accurate weather person! You were fun and perky and beautiful! You will be so missed MJ. Wishing you all the best!
Wow! Just got back from vacation and I am happy to see that you are retiring but sad to see you leaving. I have always enjoyed watching you and your pet walk. Best wishes on the next chapter of your life.
I have been in the commercial roofing business here in Seattle for the last 40 years. Weather has always been a critical issue and you are the best. Not just with the weather but YOU. Am watching your final show as I write this and you will be missed. It has been a great combination of MJ, Bill, Adam and yes even Liz. Just like with any great team it’s all about the combination of the players. Hope I can hang with Fox morning news as I experience the changes😎
Best of times to you. Get some 😴
