She graduated from Shadle Park High School in 1979, and then earned both BA and MA degrees in Speech Pathology from Eastern Washington University. She began her career as a Speech Therapist with the Moses Lake School District in 1984. She then worked several years for Speech Pathology Associates covering various school districts, hospitals, and home visits throughout the Columbia Basin and in Douglas and Chelan counties. In 2007, Beth formed her own business, Columbia Basin Speech Therapy in Moses Lake. She contracted with both the Quincy and Royal School Districts for speech services and also was the on-call speech evaluation consultant for three hospitals in Grant County. Beth affected many lives as a caring speech therapist primarily working with young children throughout the Columbia Basin. The dedication she presented in her work was extraordinary.

Matt Hope, chief appraiser for the Grant County Assessor’s Office, said that while county officials don’t know how many short-term rentals are in Grant County, there are more than there were 10 years ago.
