Let's make some news.
Levi Pulkkinen here. I am an investigative reporter and editor based in Seattle. You'll find my work at U.S. News & World Report, The Guardian, The Hechinger Report and GeekWire, as well as Yes! Magazine, High Country News, Next City, and The Appeal. Regionally, I write for Crosscut, Seattle Met, and InvestigateWest. Before going independent, I served as senior editor at SeattlePI, where I also reported for 11 years.
Beyond my own journalism, I help writers shape their work and build their reporting power. If you need a Seattle story told, impactful training in story development or investigative reporting or some editing horsepower, hit me up at levi@seattlejournalist.com.

Complex Stories Told Well
Our world is a deliciously messy place. I pair my deep experience in data-driven, document-heavy reporting with my interviewing skills to draw out human stories. For more of my work, check out my clips page.
