Politics Reporter, Host of Sound Politics

About

Scott Greenstone covers PNW politics for KUOW, from Congress to county officials, and how decisions in the other Washington affect life here. He co-hosts Sound Politics with Libby Denkmann.

Greenstone came to KUOW in 2024, after working at KNKX and the Seattle Times. He produced and helped report "Outsiders," which was named a top 10 podcast of 2020 by TIME magazine. Greenstone has written everything from homelessness coverage to business news to movie reviews for newspapers and radio. He studied Journalism and Comparative Literature at the University of Oregon.

Before that, Greenstone was homeschooled, which is probably why he's like that.
