Author: Jorge Salcido

Jorge Salcido grew up in East Los Angeles and has spent his career telling the stories of West Coast communities that don't always make the front page. His reporting covers culture, immigration, and the changing character of California and Pacific Northwest cities, mixing ground-level interviews with a journalist's instinct for the wider picture. At West Coast Observer, Jorge brings that same perspective to everything from local politics to arts coverage. He plays weekend soccer, makes an excellent carnitas, and is convinced that LA traffic has made him a more patient person — though his colleagues remain unconvinced.
