  • I'm sad to hear about Aaron Brown, who I thought was a fantastic anchor. Does anyone know what happened with his KIRO News co-anchor, Gary Justice?

    • Kiro Anchor Gary Justice Leaving Television To Pursue Second Career

      Chuck Taylor-Seattle Times
      Longtime Seattle anchor Gary Justice said yesterday he will leave television at the end of the year to pursue a second career at an estate-planning business that emphasizes charitable trusts.

      Justice, who anchors the morning and noon news on KIRO-TV (Channel 7), will end a 22-year stint at the station around Christmastime.

      "At age 52, I figured I had only one more opportunity to go off and do something exciting," Justice said.

      Justice will work for James Feek Corp. of Seattle, an independent insurance brokerage. He has known the company's president, James Feek, since the 1970s and is in a six-month transition during which he has been learning the business.

      • Off topic, I remember Chuck Taylor when he worked at KUJ. It was a summer gig when he went to Whitman College.

  • Sad to read. I remember him at KING and also KIRO. He had a very professorial style, as a opposed to Dan Lewis type delivery.
