After his father left KIRO in 2002, Wappler succeeded him as chief meteorologist.
Wappler, who left the station on Friday, said that renewable energy is a good fit with his weather background. And, "I was looking to do something new."

"My predominant feeling is one of gratitude. I have loved and been loved;I have been given much and I have given something in return...Above all, I have been a sentient being, a thinking animal, on this beautiful planet, and that in itself has been an enormous privilege and an adventure." O. Sacks
