One of the legends of local television news in Seattle, Kathi Goertzen, passed away today. She has battled couragiously against brain tumors for the last fourteen years, but each time she fought back and returned to the news desk. The last few years, she refused to hide from the TV cameras, even though the most recent tumor had distorted her once beautiful face. She was a news anchor in Seattle for thirty years. She passed away today at the age of 54.
