Colin Fogarty

N³ Editor

Colin Fogarty directs and edits coverage of the issues that matter to the Northwest. Colin lives and works in Portland.

Tom Banse

Regional Correspondent

Tom roves the Northwest to report on broad themes and telling details. His topics can run the gamut from business, to science, to environment. Home base is in Olympia.

Austin Jenkins

Olympia Correspondent

Austin keeps track of all things state government. That means prowling the halls when the Washington Legislature meets and also doing regular reality checks with the far corners of the state.

Anna King

Richland Correspondent

Anna delivers stories about the Mid–Columbia region from the N3 Richland bureau. A former newspaper reporter for the Tri–City Herald, she reports on wine, agriculture and the environment.

Chris Lehman

Salem Correspondent

Chris stays on top of political developments in Salem. But that's not all he does. Breaking news from central Oregon to the Pacific Coast is fair game for this versatile reporter.

Doug reports on the rural economy, unique culture and changing demographics of the Inland Northwest. He's based in the scenic resort city of Coeur d'Alene. But Doug covers northeastern Washington, north Idaho and the issues that confront the region east of the Cascades.
