Chris Egan

Sports anchor / reporter

Hi, my name is Chris Egan, and I'm the weekend sports anchor and sports reporter for KING 5.

I'm from Puyallup, Washington, and have worked at KING 5 since 2000.

I cover the Seahawks, Mariners, Sounders, Kraken, Storm, Reign, Huskies, Cougars, high school sports and plenty of other teams.

I've interviewed thousands of athletes over the years, in addition to covering two Super Bowls, three MLS Cups, the MLB and NHL playoffs, the 2024 College Football National Championship, the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio, the 2018 Winter Olympics in South Korea, and the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris.

Over the years I've won 11 Emmy awards and three Edward R. Murrow awards for sports reporting.

I graduated from Pacific Lutheran University in 1995, and was named the Man of the Year in Sports in '95 after four successful seasons on the tennis team.

Outside of work, you can usually find me with my three kids Madison, Austin and Luke, or hanging out with my wife and high school sweetheart, Melanie. I love coaching youth sports and watching my kids compete. I also enjoy still playing sports, especially pickleball and tennis.

I love the Northwest, and it's a dream come true for me to be covering sports on KING 5.
