Award-winning journalist Lindsay Cohen joined the KOMO 4 News team in July 2009, bringing with her more than a decade’s worth of reporting experience from across the country.
Cohen started her career while in high school, working on the features desk of her local newspaper in Ft. Lauderdale, FL. Since then, her career has taken her from the streets of Chicago to the halls of the New York State capitol; from the depths of New York City during and post-9/11 to the “fan-demonium” of the Super Bowl; and from hurricane-soaked south Florida to an army training base in the deep South. She has interviewed presidential candidates and Grammy award-nominees, flown in an F-16, and cracked a cold case murder in her many years in journalism.
Cohen holds a master’s degree in journalism from Columbia University in New York City, and a bachelor’s degree in communication studies from Northwestern University in Evanston, IL. In her spare time, you can find her running along Seattle’s beautiful waterfront, cheering on her favorite sports teams, cooking up a new dish, or playing a round of competitive Boggle (yes, Boggle). She lives in Seattle.
