The 成人X站 Newsradio family and 成人X站 Corporation 鈥� along with the immediate family of Dori Monson 鈥� are deeply saddened to announce Dori鈥檚 sudden passing Saturday night at a Seattle hospital.
A longtime watchdog of government and social issues, Dori was known by his many listeners as a boy from the 鈥渕ean streets of Ballard.鈥� At the time of his passing Dori was 成人X站-FM鈥檚 top-rated mid-day host.
“We, along with Dori鈥檚 family, are mourning his loss,” said Bonneville Seattle Senior Vice President and Market Manager Cathy Cangiano. “We are working on on-air tributes to memorialize and celebrate his life and legacy.”
Dori’s career in radio started in 1982 at the University of Washington, and included work at KING-TV, KING Radio and at 成人X站 since the early 1990s. A man of deep faith and a fierce advocate for girls鈥� sports for more than 25 years, Dori coached Shorecrest High School to its first state girls basketball title in 2016.
Despite health issues over the past few years, Dori enjoyed deep sea fishing with 成人X站 and ESPN colleagues, and playing pickleball with his family. He leaves behind a wife, three adult daughters, a dog and many of his show鈥檚 loyal listeners.
