by Bob Lane
for the King County Department of Metropolitan Services, 1995

As a Seattle Times reporter, Bob Lane earned his first byline on a Metro story in 1965. He covered Metro until its merger with King County in 1994.

"Covering the struggle for clean water was one of my most interesting and challenging assignments as a reporter for the Seattle Times. While the ethics of journalism required me to be objective in covering clean-water issues over many years, I can say now -- 12 years after leaving The Times -- that it was exciting and rewarding to see the public, community groups and local government work together for a common good."
