I understand this will be moved to "in memoriam", but thought it would get a little attention here first.
 
He stayed longer at KOMO than I'd thought.

How many anchors did KOMO go through in the early 80s before Dan & Kathi settled into the lead role?

John Seigenthaler who was married to Kerry Brock. Milt Furness is another name that comes to mind, but probably weekends and/or mornings.

Seigenthaler was late on the scene - 1990.

Milt Furness' obit indicates he lasted at KOMO until 1982, so yes, he's another one on the list.
 
Always sad to lose another Seattle TV legend. May he forever RIP.

And Steve Pool was an *anchor* at one point? Should I pinch myself, am I dreaming?
