About Christian Caple
About On Montlake
I’m Christian Caple, and On Montlake is my site and newsletter dedicated to sourced, insightful reporting on the University of Washington football program. Before launching in March 2023, I covered UW football for more than four years at The Athletic, and for four years before that at The (Tacoma) News Tribune.
I grew up in Longview, Wash. , attended UW, worked for the student newspaper, graduated in 2010 and have been covering college football ever since. Just at Washington, I’ve covered six head coaches, two CFP appearances and a national championship game, an 0-12 season, a Rose Bowl, two firings and four games played in an empty stadium.
Your support allows me to continue covering the UW football team with the kind of unique, differentiated stories you won’t find elsewhere.
