Erin Sellers’s Biography

Read Full Bio →

Erin moved to town from Idaho to attend Gonzaga University, fell in love with Spokane and hasn’t left yet. They are a queer storyteller, and when they’re not pounding Red Bulls (not sponsored) and typing frantically, you can find her on and off stage at a few of the theatres in town. She is passionate about increasing accessibility to public meetings, telling stories from underrepresented communities and pitching funny merch ideas.

The Other Way People Are Losing Their Homes In The Fires

Hannah Swenson needs more time. A tenants’ rights lawyer, she’s well put together, her hair tied back in a neat bun and her suit jacket unwrinkled.

By Monday, August 17, the fires were mostly contained, but for Swenson, the crisis is just beginning.
