KOMO TV Anchor Kathi Goertzen just opened up her Facebook page on Tuesday. As of Wednesday night, she had amassed 35,694 fans, and as of this post, Thursday morning, she has 41,640.
Paul Balcerak at lostremote.com says for a nationally recognized politician or actor, that’s probably pretty respectable and expected growth, but for a local TV anchor in Seattle, it’s pretty surprising and incredible.
Goertzen debuted her Facebook page at about 5 p.m. Tuesday, and about 10 minutes later, she posted on the KOMO website that she was headed back for another round of surgery to treat a benign brain tumor that she’s been dealing with for the last decade or so.
The outpouring of support was immediate and, in her own words, overwhelming.
