Mona Lee Locke returns to TV

Mona Lee Locke, Washington's first lady for the past eight years, will return to television this spring as an anchor and reporter on KIRO/7.

Her husband, Gov. Gary Locke, has not announced his next post.

The couple moved out of the Governor's Mansion in Olympia over the New Year and have moved back into their Queen Anne home in Seattle.

KIRO general manager John Woodin said Mona Locke would join the station's news team in April. She'll report on various issues for special assignments, interview guests for KIRO/7 Profiles, and report and anchor quarterly documentaries.

Before becoming the state's first lady, she was a documentary producer at KCTS/9 and a reporter at KING/5, at KLUK-TV in Green Bay, Wis., and at KIBW-TV in Topeka, Kan.

Last week, Woodin announced Kristy Lee, an anchor on KIRO's 5, 6:30 and 11 p.m. newscasts, would leave the station Jan. 21 to return to Boston in order to spend more time with her family. No replacement has been named for Lee, who came to the Seattle station from WHDH-TV in Boston in 2002.
