Among KOMO’s new (and somewhat contentious) neighborhood-focused newsblogs, Beacon Hill’s Travis Mayfield is likely their best neighborhood reporter. (If you peruse their other “KOMO Communities“, we think you’ll agree.)

Living on the north-east edge of Beacon Hill with his partner Curtis and their chew-happy hound Sadie, Travis is in the neighborhood, chasing stories and asking questions nearly every day when he isn’t outside it, reporting on events and issues from Stanwood to Olympia to Port Orchard for KOMO NewsRadio and KOMO 4 News.

Most recently, Travis caught up with Governor Christine Gregoire during a visit to El Centro de La Raza today. Earlier this week, he sat down for a chat with North Beacon Hill Council chair Judith Edwards at Baja Bistro.
