Ask Dan Mitchinson what stands out most about his 25 years in broadcasting, and he's likely to tell you 'The longer I'm in it, the farther north I seem to move...San Diego, Santa Barbara, Sacramento, Spokane and now Seattle. It also seems I have an affinity for living in cities that start with the letter S.'
After signing on at News Talk 97.3 KIRO FM back in the waning days of the 1980's, Dan's worked his way up from the ranks- working as Desk Assistant, Morning Editor, Afternoon Editor, and Reporter before being kicked upstairs- making him a true mustang, to borrow Navy terminology.
My career at News Talk 97.3 KIRO FM started in 1988 when I was hired as the Morning Desk Assistant. Soon after, I became the Afternoon Editor and then hit the streets as a full-time reporter in 1991.
