Zach Wildfang brings a deep connection to the South Sound to his role as sports reporter at Northwest Newsradio. Growing up in the region shaped his interest in local stories, from the teams people rally around to the decisions made in city halls that impact everyday life. While attending the University of Washington and studying landscape architecture, Zach took a part-time job at Lotus Seattle—an opportunity that quickly turned into something more. What started as a college gig became a career, as he found his voice in broadcasting and a passion for covering the stories happening in his own backyard. Over time, Zach worked his way into sports reporting, combining his love of competition and storytelling with a strong understanding of the local community. Outside the newsroom, Zach’s interests reflect the same energy he brings to his work. He spends his time at live events, following motorsports, and staying connected to the music scene. A young homeowner, he also enjoys the quieter moments at home with his dog, making the most of life in the Pacific Northwest.
