AAJA Seattle thanks our local volunteers, chefs and the Columbia Tower Club for another successful Chef Showcase.

We awarded $5,000 in scholarships to local student journalists and selected our first intern for our new partnership with KIRO-TV.

We asked current and former AAJA members and other journalists who knew him to share some thoughts on the impact he made in their lives and the journalism community.

Longtime Seattle journalist Alex Tizon was a reporter at the Seattle Times for 17 years, and a professor at University of Oregon.
