The photographic journey of GILBERT W. ARIAS, a Seattle/Tacoma based Photojournalist..

In 2009, like so many of my newspaper colleagues I found myself unemployed after the 146-yr-old newspaper I worked at closed its doors and moved to a web only edition. Some 12-years later I find I’m still mourning the loss of another great American industry, the daily newspaper.

Kent Mundell Memorial2009


On December 21, 2009 Pierce County Sheriffs’ Deputy Kent Mundell was killed in the line of duty while responding to a domestic violence call in Eatonville, WA. He was the sixth Washington police officer killed in the line of duty since October 2009.
The photographs and sound were made during his memorial service at the Tacoma Dome in January 2010.
