For over two decades, Erin Mayovsky has been one of the most recognisable and trusted faces on Seattle television. A sports and weather anchor who has spent virtually her entire career in the Pacific Northwest, she brings professional versatility and personal authenticity to her work, a combination that has made her a fixture in one of America’s most sports-passionate media markets.
She has covered Seahawks Super Bowl runs, Mariners pre- and post-game shows, Sounders MLS championship campaigns, and Husky athletics with the warmth of someone who genuinely loves both the sport and the community.
Born in Seattle in 1978, Mayovsky played soccer at state championship level in high school, giving her an athlete’s understanding of what sport means to the people who play and follow it.
She went on to earn a journalism degree from the University of Washington, playing intercollegiate soccer there as well, before building a career that has taken her through nearly every major Seattle television station.
Today she is the weekday co-anchor of Good Day Seattle on FOX 13 and the co-founder of OnGaard Productions with her husband Gaard Swanson.

She graduated in 1996 or 1997, equipped with both academic training and first-hand sporting experience. Her dual identity as athlete and journalist has animated her on-air sports coverage in a way no training alone could provide.

From January 2011 to January 2012 she worked as a sideline reporter for Seattle Sounders FC, covering MLS pre- and post-game broadcasts and conducting exclusive player and coach interviews. In August 2015 she joined KOMO-TV as a news, sports, and weather anchor. She later joined FOX 13 (KCPQ), eventually becoming the weekday co-anchor of Good Day Seattle alongside Bill Wixey.
Her career coverage spans some of Seattle’s most memorable sporting moments: Seahawks Super Bowl campaigns, the Sounders’ MLS championships, Mariners programming, Sonics coverage, and Husky athletics.
