==Career at KYW-TV==
He joined the station in 1986 as a weekend sportscaster and eventually become the station's primary sportscaster. In 1996, he took on his current assignment as co-anchor.〔 In addition to his daily anchor duties, he provides viewers with "Keepin' It Reel," a special segment of the morning newscast during which he previews one of the week's theatrical releases and interviews the releases' stars and directors. He is credited with being one of the first African American newscasters to have a shape-up. Washington also hosted the local teen issues discussion show "Rap Around," which dealt with topics such as race, prom fashions, and having a brother. In 2004, he put together a special report on the still controversial Philadelphia Experiment.
On November 11, 2011, a performance was aired on KYW-TV where Washington joined the Philadelphia Boys Choir & Chorale, of which he is a former member, and the "Facebook Volunteer Choir" at the Zion Baptist Church in north Philadelphia in singing ''God Bless America'', in tribute to America's military veterans.〔(CBS Philly page where Washington joins choirs to pay tribute to veterans ) Retrieved 2011-11-21〕 He had been asked by the Philadelphia Phillies to sing ''God Bless America'' at a seventh-inning stretch at Citizens Bank Park during the 2011 National League Championship Series, but because the Phillies had been eliminated from the playoffs in the previous round by the St. Louis Cardinals (who went on to win the 2011 World Series), he could not perform for the Phillies. Instead, he chose to film a performance for Veterans Day.
The Broadcast Pioneers of Philadelphia〔http://broadcastpioneers.com〕 inducted Washington into their Hall of Fame in 2008.
