She was looking rather tired the past year. I think the job was too much for her.

I was? Hmm 🤔

That’s okay, Tracy. I’ve been “looking rather tired” since about 2015.

Switched to Kiro when you left king 5. Now that you’re gone switching channels again. Miss you

Good luck you you. AlwYs enjoyed your reports. Enjoy sleeping in and your retirement.

Tracy Taylor is definitely a GREAT loss to the Kiro 7 news team. She always seemed down to earth and a real people person. I hope her leaving was a choice she made freely and not one she was forced to make. She is greatly missed. Wish her luck.

Tracy is just one of a multitude of media people quitting the business over working conditions, pay or lack of work/life balance. As for work/life balance, when did that become a thing? The 80s? It wasn’t a problem in the 1950s when mom took care of the home and dad went to work. Things got out of hand. $$ greed, taxation, envy, dependence on credit, lifestyle, throw-away marriage, divorce, materialism.

Tracy Taylor, I will miss you terribly. You are, and always will be, the ray of sunshine in the day. A great reporter is hard to come by and you are one of the very best. Take care and best wishes to you and yours.

Thank you Ed!

Oh Tracy,
My husband and I just love you, it won’t be the same without you at Kiro channel 7. My husband said we will watch another channel from now on.
I am so sad you are leaving. We always looked forward to your cheerful, rapid fire traffic reports, even though we are both now retired. You have done a lot of great reporting over the years.
We will miss you.

Thank you Joanne!
Tracy Taylor • April 25, 2022
Thanks for the nice words and write up!
I’m excited to start seeing more green than red. Lights that is..
OldYeller • April 21, 2022
All the best, Tracy. Good on you for taking care of yourself.
louis • April 20, 2022
Seems like a good person. I have a feeling this move wasn’t her choice.
Jack D. Bell • April 20, 2022
Likely as good a time as any, to bail…the local TV personality scene is more bleak, every day…So I seldom tune in to the local news anymore….News and weather is better on radio!
Dorin • May 6, 2022
I loved watching Tracy Taylor. She is down to earth and normal. Between she and Nick, they made the weather and traffic fun to watch. What a loss for Kiro 7 but I wish her the best. We still have Nick!

yep

I remember when my wife and I were celebrating my college graduation on a Dinner Train out of Renton years ago. I was ran into two or three times by Joyce Taylor just proving that you can also be interrupted by a “celebrity”. She did politely apologize. 😉
