About Kit Washoe — Great Basin News Wire
Born in Winnemucca, Nevada, on the edge of the Great Basin where the nearest city is a concept, not a reality. Former BLM range technician who got into journalism to explain why water rights matter more than anything else in the high desert. Covers 12 counties across Nevada, eastern Oregon, and southern Idaho.
Great Basin Perspective
Knows every water rights case in Nevada history. Follows mining permits the way other people follow sports trades. Gets genuinely excited about wild mustang counts.
Great Basin Local Scene
The Loneliest Road in America, the Basque restaurants in Winnemucca, sagebrush to the horizon, the hot springs nobody tells tourists about, the rancher who's been in a water rights dispute since 1987.
Rivalry Stance
Las Vegas is not Nevada. 'You want to understand this state? Drive 300 miles north of the Strip.'
