Lisa Brooks

News Anchor And Reporter

Lisa's ties to Seattle and Northwest news stretch back into the 1980s when she was a reporter covering city and state issues for KING radio. She earned a degree in communications from John Carroll University, winning the Women's Association Award for excellence, awarded by the female faculty members. Lisa also has anchored radio newscasts on KOMO, KIRO, KJR and KMPS over her nearly 30-year career in broadcast journalism.

She is a longtime (and some would say long-suffering!) fan of the Seattle Mariners and has served as the public address announcer at the former Kingdome and at Safeco Field on numerous occasions.

In her spare time, Lisa loves singing and partner dancing of all sorts, especially waltz and salsa. You'll often find her at the dog park, making sure her Lhasa Apso pooches Dudley and Motley run off their excessive energy.
