KOMO Meteorologist Steve Pool On Leave For Cancer Treatment
Pool will take a break from broadcasting beginning Thursday for medical treatment.
SEATTLE, WA - One of the most familiar faces on TV in Puget Sound will take a break from broadcasting to undergo treatment for prostate cancer. KOMO meteorologist Steve Pool will step away from work beginning Thursday, according to the TV station.
Pool was diagnosed several months ago and took intermittent time off over the summer. He called the diagnosis "a complete shock."
Pool, an Emmy award winner, began his career at KOMO in the late 1970s after graduating from the University of Washington. A true Puget Sound native, Pool is a graduate of Seattle's Tyee High School.
