I saw Brandi Kruse cover this year’s May Day fiasco. She was wearing high heels and clutching a Starbucks cup, just as the “anarchists” were beginning their march from Capitol Hill to the downtown core. She looked a little out of place, but I’m sure she needed the coffee. By all indication, the woman doesn’t sleep … ever. A tireless reporter for KIRO Radio, Kruse’s station bio claims she’s “spontaneous and adventurous in her free time.” I’m not buying it. I don’t believe she has free time. She’s at every last-minute press conference. She’s at every crime scene. In the past year alone, Kruse was first to report the pillow-purchase tiff between police monitor Merrick Bobb and the city budget office; first to document the sordid high-school sex-pic Twitter scandal that entangled two star athlete brothers at Edmonds Woodway High School; and first to discover the fiasco that marred Mayor McGinn’s photo-op attempt to melt weapons collected during a January gun buyback into “peace bricks” to be placed at area schools (see Best Blunder, below). Kruse deserves this award, and a few days off.
