Parks, a native of Spokane, Washington, is a journalism graduate of Seattle University, and an alumnus of the University of Washington’s School of Communications. He is a self-taught economist.  Parks joined The Seattle Times in 1967. He became the newspaper’s financial editor in the early 1970s and moved to Marple's Letter in 1977. Parks has been owner, editor and publisher of Marple's Letter since 1980.  

Marple’s Pacific Northwest Letter provides intelligence on economic and company trends in the Pacific Northwest and Alaska. The newsletter has been published on alternate Wednesdays since April 1949.
