I'm an editor at The Daily Herald in Everett, Wash., where I work half-time on traditional editing and design for the print edition and the other half working on the City Desk to help develop Web-first content. The Herald, owned by the Washington Post Co., is a newspaper with a great heritage, serving a county of about 711,100 people just north of Seattle — within commuting range of our home in northeast Seattle. Snohomish County and Everett are home to Boeing's biggest commercial airplane factory — which also is the biggest building in the world — and to a Navy base that is home to the aircraft carrier USS Nimitz.

This is the second Herald I've worked for. I started my post-college journalism career at the Tri-City Herald in Kennewick, Wash.
