Brittany Toolis, KIRO 7 News

Brittany Toolis is a reporter who joined the KIRO 7 News team in April 2023. She came to the Pacific Northwest after spending the last two years in Oklahoma City with KWTV. She and her calves are still getting used to the hills after spending most of her life living in the Great Plains. In Oklahoma City, Brittany covered a wide variety of news from crime to reproductive rights, to extreme weather and tornados. Prior to her stint in Oklahoma City, she was an evening anchor and producer with WTVO/WQRF in Rockford, Illinois. She got her start in news after being a rink-side reporter for the Rockford IceHogs, the American Hockey League affiliate to the Chicago Blackhawks. Brittany grew up on Chicago's Southside and is a huge Chicago sports fan, minus the Cubs, and can't wait to go support Seattle teams as well as long as they're not against Chicago. Unless it's the Cubs - in that case, Go Mariners! In her free time, Brittany likes to walk her Irish Wolfhound named Ophelia, do yoga, look around thrift stores and bake. Brittany is excited to see all that the Pacific Northwest and Seattle has to offer and hopes one day to get used to walking uphill.
