Dear Watchers - Say Hello to Emily
by Sally Hewitt
Meet our new editor, Emily Linroth. She’s a perfect fit for Whatcom Watch. Emily wrote the front-page article about the pipeline explosion for our June issue and before that worked on Huxley’s The Planet for two years. She was the editor-in-chief of the magazine for the 2008–9 school year. For two years in a row Emily won the journalism department award for special leadership on The Planet.
She came to Western Washington University for its English, biology and journalism programs. Emily’s major is environmental journalism.
Born in Denver, Emily and her family moved to Edmonds when she was six. She moved eight times before she arrived in Bellingham and feels happily at home here.
If you see a young woman walking a silly husky/shepherd shelter mutt with huge ears (who answers to the name Jasper), stop and say hello to Emily. §
