Margaret Seiler loves to write about local politics, history, sports (from the Thorns to Tonya Harding), and her hobby of extreme transit. A longtime copy editor, she also helps keep Portland Monthly clear, readable, and grammatically correct. The native Kentuckian landed in Oregon after youth-hostelling her way around the continent (before cell phones!) and worked at Willamette Week and the Portland Tribune before joining Portland Monthly in 2010. She lives in North Portland with her family.
