🥲 LIFE MOVES FAST: After 2 quick years, a ton of breaking news and an Emmy, I’ve decided to leave @fox13seattle in January! I hope I’ve served you well in the Puget Sound. (Especially because I’m not leaving the region!) Thanks for making the PNW home. ❤️ -DG

#NEW at 11PM: A Newport woman we talked with said the boy, who claims he's Timmothy Pitzen, who vanished in 2011, was spotted on Columbia Street. "He walked up to my car, and he went, 'Can you help me? I just want to get home. Can you just please help me?'" #wlwt @wlwt

Politics aside, I think the people of OH and KY should be proud of our governors through all this. @GovMikeDeWine and @GovAndyBeshear have been calm, clear and have taken action to protect people.. especially when you compare how other states have handled COVID-19. 🙏🏻 My 2 cents.

Serious question: How come people are willing to share views (and a lot of foul language) on Twitter and Facebook, but when I offer them the opportunity to say it on camera, they’re “not a camera person” or “not looking for the spotlight”? Is it because they’re just a troll? 🙄

I cried last night when I heard of the shooting. We were at bars in OTR. I had some drinks, yet the words/videos cut into my soul sharply. I lost it. I cried in front of my friends, sitting on a curb. I often look for exits and hiding places.. “just in case.” Damn it. No more.

My little bro says she is “more stable” today. She has been in the ICU. Apparently, under sedation and he says today they are planning to bring her out of sedation. It’s been hard dealing with this from afar.. but this must be a good sign. I hope.
