About
Angela King is the local host of Morning Edition.
She’s been a part of the northwest news scene since the early 1990s. A proud University of Washington alumna, with degrees in Broadcast Journalism and American Ethnic Studies, she started her career as a news writer in Seattle before becoming a reporter and anchor in Seattle, Portland, and Albuquerque.

In 2009, U.W.'s Viewpoint Magazine also named her as one of the “Top 40 to Watch.” “I wouldn't be where I am today if it weren't for the University of Washington,” says Angela. “That's why it's so nice to come back home, where it all started.”
