About Eric Ruthford

I have experience as a newspaper reporter, a homeless shelter financial director, and as a U.S. Peace Corps volunteer. I worked for several newspapers in Washington state in 1998-2001, including the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, The Herald of Everett, The News Tribune, and The Tri-City Herald. Recently, I've published articles for the Seattle PostGlobe, a non-profit news site run by former P-I employees.
