Ruth Apahidean HarperAttorney
I'm a Pacific Northwest native. After double majoring in both English and History at the University of Washington, I attended the University of Washington School of Law. My focus is on estate planning, probate, and elder law. When not in the office, I explore the outdoors by hiking and snowboarding, dabble in creative writing, and blog about historical costuming projects. |
