Sydney Brownstone is an East Coast-raised, Seattle-based reporter. She was nominated for a Pulitzer Prize in 2016 for her coverage of an elaborate porn scam in Seattle, which eventually led to a police investigation, four formal rape charges, and a sexual assault conviction. Sydney's current beat is criminal justice, but she regularly covers sexual assault and environmental issues, too. When she isn't reporting, she enjoys playing music, hiking in the mountains, or isolating herself in her room to play several hours of Stardew Valley.
