Reporter looks back on 30 Years at Ha-Shilth-Sa | Ha-Shilth-Sa Newspaper

January 2026 marks the 30th year that I’ve worked at Ha-Shilth-Sa Newspaper. I applied for the job in the summer of 1995, hoping that I would get the chance to work with the legendary Ha-Shilth-Sa Bob. Popular, friendly and easy-going Bob Soderlund had already been working for the paper more than 20 years when I was hired. Annie Watts, his assistant, helped me navigate policy and procedures at the NTC. My first day as a reporter for Ha-Shilth-Sa Newspaper was January 15, 1996. My kids were 13 and 14 at the time and I was in my early 30s.

Getting a trapped young orca out of the shallow waters of Little Espinosa Inlet is being described as “threading the needle” from those at the scene.
