Angela Cragin is currently serving as the publisher of the Seattle Gay News. She is the daughter of the late George Bakan, who was at the helm of the SGN as editor-in-chief, publisher, and owner for 37 years. George desired to leave the paper to Angela after he crossed over to the other side.

As she furiously works on the computer and answers the phone from her home across the state, you may wonder what on earth could possibly qualify her to do this work? How about raising three daughters, teaching preschool, caretaking for her mother, volunteering at the food bank, and serving as account executive for an HVAC distributor and HVAC estimator (among other retail adventures and definitive life experiences)?

Needless to say, this has been a crash course for her and the escapade of a lifetime.
