Christmas in Bloom, When I Could Have Killed It

by Helen Holter December 31, 2016

written by Helen Holter

December 31, 2016

About Me

Immersed in the Northwest's jaw-dropping beauty, technology, and generosity, I live and work at the cutting-edge of digital and broadcast media, sharing with others along the way. An Emmy-winning former TV news journalist in Seattle and Russia, I love Seattle for its "spirit of place," especially in the outdoors, technology, global health, and – yes! – great coffee! Here lives the quirky intersection of old and new, past and future – my home, Seattle. (Click the "About" tab for my personal and professional bios.)
