Kim Holcomb
Evening Magazine Reporter
Kim Holcomb began reporting for Evening Magazine in April 2008.
Her career started more than a decade ago, when she made a solitary road trip up the West Coast in search of her first job. She visited every small market along the way and was hired at her last stop in Yakima, WA. She was a "one man band” news reporter, shooting, writing, and editing her own stories. For minimum wage. And she loved every second.
Kim moved on to reporting and anchoring jobs in Boise, ID, Las Vegas, NV, and Phoenix, AZ, where she was honored with the prestigious Edward R. Murrow award for writing. She moved to Seattle in 2006, working as a general assignment reporter for KING 5 before joining Evening Magazine.
During her time with Evening, she’s traveled to exotic places, told the stories of remarkable local people, and interviewed some of the biggest names in the entertainment industry. Highlights include flying on a trapeze for a story, winning two Emmys, and sharing an office with Jim Dever. Not necessarily in that order.
Kim has a degree in political science from the University of California, Riverside, and a master's degree in broadcast journalism from Boston University. She spent a year working as a visiting professor at UNLV.
Kim couldn’t live without music, movies, good conversation, vacations to the coast, occasional karaoke and strong coffee. She has dozens of books percolating inside her head and hopes to write one down someday. She’s married to NWCN Evening Anchor Rob Piercy, and they are the proud parents of a son and daughter.
