Her name and face should sound familiar to you because Rachel Garceau spent nearly 15 years working as an anchor, producer, reporter and meteorologist at Channel 6 and Fox 9. Before departing Channel 6, she delivered the morning weather on the station’s Good Morning Idaho. 

She stepped away from the green screen in October 2021 to take a job as the Public Information Officer at Central District Health, a job she said would allow for a little more work-life balance. She was there for almost a year before taking a position as the Communications Manager for Northwest Lineman College.

I can't promise I won't try to pull a Tom Brady.  People can un-retire, can't they?  But for now, I guess it's ‘see you around sometime.’  My last day on-air will be May 16th.
