Nick Allard joined KIRO 7 in October of 2015 as the morning and noon meteorologist. Before coming to KIRO 7, Allard was most recently the weekday morning meteorologist at KGW in Portland from 2009-2015. Before that he was weekday/weekend morning meteorologist for KING 5 and NWCN in Seattle. He covered all the major storms of the past few years, including the Hanukah Eve storm, and the major flooding.

Before moving to Seattle he was a weather anchor at KVEW-42/KAPP-35 in the Tri-Cities and Yakima Washington from 2003-2006. At KVEW, he reported for about a year before becoming the main weather anchor. He produced and anchored the weather casts for the 5, 6, and 11 for both stations, but was based out of the Tri-Cities. He also hosted Ultimate Yard Makeovers, Muscular Dystrophy Association Telethons, and reported live from Detroit the week leading up to Super Bowl XL and during the game.

Allard received his B.A. in Broadcast News & Production from the Edward R. Murrow School of Communication at Washington State University. He also finished his Meteorology Certification Program at Mississippi State University. Allard has a seal from the American Meteorological Society.

He enjoys spending time with his wife, two sons and his dog. He also enjoys playing all sports and spending time outside.

Dave Wagner is an anchor and investigative reporter at KIRO 7.

Dave comes to Seattle from NBC News Channel where he was a correspondent covering some of the nation’s biggest stories, including the Charleston church massacre. He also covered the Olympics in Sochi, London and Vancouver.

Dave has anchored the news in Charlotte, Tampa, Cincinnati, Milwaukee and Lexington, Kentucky. His passion for investigative reporting has been recognized with 36 Emmys and four Edward R. Murrow Awards.

A week after their honeymoon, Dave surprised his wife by going undercover as an inmate. He spent a month in the Fayette County, Kentucky Detention Center investigating overcrowding, the treatment of mentally ill prisoners and an alarming number of suicides.

While working in Tampa, Dave received a tip about Nazi war criminals receiving U.S. Social Security checks overseas. He traveled to Lithuania to confront the accused war criminals about the long-held government secret. His stories led Congress to introduce the Nazi Benefits Termination Act. Dave received the Edward R. Murrow Award for investigative reporting.

After a headline-grabbing case that included murder, rape and an attempt to steal a newborn baby, Dave discovered an innocent man behind bars. As part of his investigation, Dave assembled a nationally-renowned pro-bono defense team and obtained the prison release of a wrongly-accused father serving a 20-year sentence.

Dave’s investigation of U.S. Armed Forces recruiters, lying to attract teenagers to the battlefields of Iraq and Afghanistan, led to retraining.

One of Dave’s most memorable stories started with a phone call to the newsroom from twin sisters Flo and Kay Lyman. After months of conversations, Dave was awestruck by their incredible memories and arranged to have Flo and Kay tested. Doctors revealed they are the world’s only known women to be identical twin autistic savants. Dave produced and directed a documentary about the Lyman sisters for the Discovery network.

If you are channel flipping, you might catch Dave in two movies, “From the Earth to the Moon” with Tom Hanks and“The Waterboy” with Adam Sandler. As Dave will admit, his short performances are less than Oscar-worthy.

While he grew up in Ohio, Dave’s roots run deep in Seattle. His great grandfather, William Weaver, was a prominent businessman and Seattle City Council member. Dave’s grandparents, Walter and Ethel Wagner, were students at the University of Washington and his grandfather taught at the school.

Dave and his wife love being with their two sons and exploring the outdoors. Dave looks forward to meeting you and always welcomes your story ideas.

August of 2019 marks the second tour of duty for Chris Francis at KIRO 7 News. A veteran of 26 years in local broadcasting, Francis is the Sports Director at KIRO 7, producing and anchoring all of the station's sportscasts and special programming. This includes GameDay Live, coverage of March Madness and the Emmy-nominated Steve Raible Scouting Report, seen every Saturday night during the NFL season.

Prior to rejoining KIRO, Francis was in the Bay Area for three years as an anchor for the PAC 12 Network where he delivered highlights and reports on everything from volleyball and soccer to the Network's flagship football and basketball shows. A perk of covering the PAC 12 -- he was able to keep a keen eye on the University of Washington Huskies and the Washington State University Cougars.

At KIRO 7 from 2009 to 2016, Francis wore two hats: the weekend sports anchor and a general assignment news reporter. Other previous stops include Milwaukee, Washington, D.C., Wilmington, N.C. and Norfolk, Virginia. Francis began his broadcast career waking up early (when the alarm was loud enough) to edit tapes for the morning show at WGME in Portland, Maine.

He is a proud University of Akron graduate and, yes, he can tell you why they chose Zips as a nickname.

On the rare day there is no sporting news in Seattle, Chris spends his time in Issaquah with his wife, Alexis, son, Connor, and daughter, Danielle.

Or, rarer still these days, on the golf course.
