Desiree Cahoon, Publisher

The greatest gift is the passion for reading. It is cheap, it consoles, it distracts, it excites, it gives you knowledge of the world and experience of a wide kind.
Elizabeth Hardwick (1916 – 2007)

Over the past 27 years I’ve had the privilege of working for the Lake Stevens Journal and meeting some of the most amazing people. I am truly blessed.
Aside from publishing a weekly newspaper I like to travel, garden, listen to a variety of music, dine el fresco, spend time with family, friends and my sweet little pets.
 
 

Pam Stevens, Managing Editor/Co-Publisher

After working for the Newspaper Agency Corp. in Salt Lake City for four years, I got the opportunity to be a stay-at-home to my two beautiful kids, Alex and Katie. When my youngest started kindergarten, I came to work here at the Lake Stevens Journal - that was over seven years ago.
Working and living in this scenic and friendly community is a luxury to my family and spending quality time with them is a priority. We love to play at the lake, go camping, travel and play games.
One of my favorite foods is really tasty fish & chips and the best I have ever tasted were at this great restaurant in Kona, Hawaii called Quinn’s – Almost by the Sea.
I also love reading, scrapbooking and watching sitcoms. Right now, That 70’s Show re-runs are on the top of my “to watch” list. 

 

Leah Hughes-Anderson- Accounts Receivable

Connecting with people in my community has always been a life priority, whether it be through PTA, School Board, or volunteering in my community.  Working at the Journal has given me access to some really remarkable people in the Lake Stevens community!  My biggest passion are my husband and four boys.  When I’m not busy with them I like to cross-stitch and beat the neighbors at Texas Hold-em!


 

Michelle Templeton, Classifieds/Calendar

My family and I have lived in Lake Stevens for 21 years. With our two older boys out and braving the world on their own, my husband and I are NOT looking forward to the day our daughter will soon enough be doing the same.  My most favorite thing to do with my family is to just hang out and play games. I love and appreciate nature and enjoy hiking and kayaking. I also like to read, cook, and my guilty pleasure of watching too much television, usually HGTV or the Animal Planet.

 

Kelcey Hatch, Production Manager

I have been with the Lake Stevens Journal since 2009, I am a 2005 graduate of Lake Stevens High School and love working in this community. I am passionate about graphic design and will have my Bachelors degree from the Art Institute of Seattle in September of 2013.

I have been married to my high school sweetheart for more that 20 years. We have
two children: Alexia (20) and AJ (16).

I enjoy running half marathons. This summer I will be doing my 1st triathlon and in the fall will be running my 1st marathon.
