From cameras to checkstands: KING team @ Admiral Safeway

If you watch KING 5 Morning News, you’ll recognize anchor Mark Wright at left, traffic reporter Tracy Taylor (in red) in the middle, and reporter Jake Whittenberg at right – they’re visiting Admiral Safeway right now, for a fun(draising) bagging battle on behalf of Special Olympics and Easter Seals, part of the company’s monthlong disabilities awareness/fundraising campaign.

10:56 AM UPDATE: Look who won!

Tracy’s partner in victory was Erika Swanson from Bear Creek Safeway on the Eastside. We have photos of them – and the other competing duos – after the jump:

Admiral Safeway also has a special event coming up this Saturday, noon-4 pm, as part of the monthlong campaign – here’s the listing on the WSB West Seattle Events calendar.

    Many thanks to all the King 5 and Safeway associates who made this morning’s bagging battle a fun event! Through our partnership with Safeway, Easter Seals Washington will help more children and adults with disabilties live, learn, work & play.
