KOMO’s Dan Lewis retired earlier this year, stepping down from the nightly news desk he’d manned since 1987. Long known for having the best hair in the business, during his 27 years at KOMO Lewis also set the bar by which all future TV news anchors in Seattle will be judged. While there may be a handful of younger anchors also deserving of this award, Lewis did the job better than anyone ever has in this town, and for longer. So we salute him into retirement in this year’s Best of Seattle, and remind readers that we’ll be lucky to ever again see a news anchor as good as him.
