Michael Schreck disappeared Friday while jogging on Cougar Mountain, prompting a massive search and rescue operation. But he walked home Monday night after he said he had slipped, fell and was knocked unconscious in a ravine. Law enforcement says it accepts Schreck's explanation, but one Seattle blogger says she isn't so sure. "I don't know, I... We're rather excited about a new blog we've launched here at KING5.com called Citizen Rain. In a nutshell, it allows you see what over a hundred Seattle blogs are saying, up to the minute, divided by different topics. And on the home page, we're blogging about some of the more interesting things we see on local Web sites. So in essense, Citizen Rain is a great way to find out what Seattle is ... This all began as a tip from a viewer. They had concerns over a local building supplier not delivering goods people paid for. So my assignment was simple: "We want you to do somebody else's job. Go be a...a waiter!" Those were my marching orders from KING 5 Morning News producers...and I was more than happy to march away! It sounded fun...different...something that viewers, hopefully, would get a kick out of. ...The ambulance was rolling out of a gravel driveway. At the end of it, a blonde woman with mascara streaming down her cheeks was standing in a semi-hunched position. She was sobbing into a cell phone. The ambulance was rolling out of a gravel driveway.

Perhaps you've read the story about the nightclubbing mom who left her 3-year-old son alone in her car while she went into a Pioneer Square nightspot over the weekend. Well, today comes the news that CPS is returning the boy to his mother. CPS says they w... As journalists, we often find ourselves in the middle squabbles, skirmishes or debates. We sort through fact and fiction, tell both sides of the story and ultimately let you the viewer decide. So it was recently, when I reported on the feuding inside Ferndale City Hall.

Attending the memorial services of late Edmonds Police Chief David Stern, I remembered a piece of advice someone once gave me. Say "thank you." They are two simple words that mean a lot to people who don't often hear them - police officers, teachers and other public servants.
