Meteorologist on the air in Seattle

[[Attention Parella Lewis fans:

The former WTHR (Channel 13) meteorologist has taken a job at KCPQ, the Fox station in Seattle.
Lewis promised to let us know when she landed a new job, since so many people were disappointed when she left Channel 13 in January after two years on the air.

Her note said she enjoyed taking some time off and took the new gig in Washington after "interviewing everywhere from Atlanta to Washington, D.C."

She seems to be enjoying the Pacific Northwest.
"Not only am I working for a wonderful station, but Seattle has so many things to do both indoors and out."]]
