Sara Johnson is a Seattle native who was raised in the Wedgwood neighborhood. Her interest in broadcasting started at Western Washington University in the late 70's, but her career as a traffic reporter started in 1982 when her radio boss at the old KING 1090 asked her if she wanted to watch the highways from a Cessna 172. The idea intrigued her and a longtime career began.

After spending nearly seven years as an airborne reporter, Sara did news and traffic stints with KZOK FM, KIRO Radio and Metro Networks before landing a full time job as the midday traffic reporter with KOMO Newsradio.

When she isn't on the air, Sara enjoys gardening, photography, trips to warm places, eating Thai and Mexican food, and riding the Harley Street Glide with her fiancé Michael.


Proudest accomplishments include producing a wonderful daughter, flying with the Blue Angels without getting air sick, and helping commuters navigate Puget Sound area roadways. "Anytime someone calls to say I saved them a bunch of time recommending an alternate route, I know I've done my job," says Johnson, adding "I give the KOMO listeners tons of credit for making me sound good. Their traffic tips are second to none."
