In researching this story, I spent many hours combing through every formal complaint received by state caseworkers about Enrique Fabregas. Twenty-eight of them. Six contain allegations of illegal drug use. Eleven contain allegations of physical abuse or neglect. Fourteen contain allegations of sexual abuse or exploitation.
But there were even more warnings. Six letters to state workers from a citizen that the teenage gir...

It must be difficult to run a business when criminals are running loose in your neighborhood. That's the predicament SeaTac hotel and motel owners (who declined to be interviewed on the record for this story) say they are in. >> Continue reading: Hotel park and fly lot owners: Victims or villains?

For cops, it's a drug case that cuts too close to home.
Narcotics officers like their privacy. In fact, many will tell you their lives depend on them maintaining their anonymity.
So that's why a situation in Lewis County involving a heavily armed drug suspect is quite disturbing.

Sixty miles in three days. Five months of training walks - including 18-mile treks in the heat of August. Blisters and strained muscles and sore feet.
Why would anyone commit to that? Because everyone I've talked to who's done the Breast Cancer 3-Day Walk has told me it was one of the greatest experiences of her life. Because I've always wanted to see if I could push myself through such a grueling event. Because for once, I want to BE i...

A package arrived in New York City this morning that created a sobering choice for NBC News and its affiliate newsrooms around the country including KING. The walk between covering a story that lends some insight into the motives of a twisted killer and offering that same killer a chance to reach out from the grave and victimize again by forcing us to listen to his incoherent rant is a difficult one.
I know some will think that we’ve...

I have a niece who is a senior at Virginia Tech. The morning of the mass shooting, my family's worry was whether she was safe. So my son (who had visited his cousin on the Blacksburg campus just two months ago) text messaged her and got a reply from her.
What a relief.
I then found out my sister had talked with her daughter that morning after the reports of the first shooting in a residence hall. When the news broke about kill...

On this Monday April 16th, I find myself in the Skagit Valley to report on a man who disappeared in the Skagit River. He and a friend were on a boat that ran out of gas. After landing the boat on a sand bar, they decided to swim to shore.

While many parts of the Skagit look serene and peaceful, what lurks beneath the surface are anything but. Eddys, rocks, snags, logs - they're everywhere and they can be deadly.

As a young chil...

As reporter, I've been around the block - at least most of the way around. I got my start as intern at KOIN-TV in Portland. For ten years, I've been covering news.
Of course, that means there have been a lot of stabbings, car wrecks, and murders. You name it, if it involves the cops, I would have told you, I've probably covered it at some point.
That's what I would have told you until today.
