Beloved KOMO weathercaster Steve Pool to retire

After more than 40 years in the business, KOMO TV's beloved weathercaster Steve Pool is retiring from broadcasting.

A University of Washington graduate, Steve spent nearly his entire career at KOMO, starting as an intern in the late 1970s and becoming one of the most well known broadcasters in the history of the Northwest.

“Steve Pool is in a class by himself as one of the great local TV personalities ever," said KOMO General Manager Janene Drafs. "I can’t think of a single project we produced at KOMO with Steve that he didn’t make better. A huge presence on and off camera. KOMO and Seattle were lucky to have him."

Steve built a career unmatched in community service while winning several Emmy awards as a weathercaster for KOMO and host of the award-winning nationally syndicated show Front Runners.
