Kate Harloe is Crosscut's Community Manager & Editorial Assistant. After graduating from Hamilton College, Kate completed two seasons of work for the Southwest Conservation Corps before moving to Seattle to pursue her interest in journalism. Her background in writing and community organizing shaped her role at Crosscut as the connector between editorial and development operations. When not obsessing over media, culture, literature, or social justice, Kate can be found frolicking in the outdoors, or sitting round the dinner table of a cooperative community that she founded with the help of seven fellow Seattleites.
