“Honestly, no one can fill Dave Ross’ shoes,” Harger said. “He’s a legend, and I’m just honored to be stepping into this role after him. It’s a big responsibility, and I’m excited to keep the tradition going.”
Harger, who’s been listening to KIRO since he was in kindergarten at Seattle’s Wedgwood Elementary in 1981, fulfilled a lifelong dream by joining the KIRO Newsradio team as the station’s news director in 2021. His radio journalism career began in 1996 when he was the news director for Green River College’s KGRG. After a brief stint in the tech industry, he returned to his true passion —news radio — in 2002 at KOMO Newsradio, where he worked as an editor, anchor and street reporter for 19 years.
