Employee Spotlight: Lori Barlow
August 14, 2026

**Lori Barlow / 34 Years of Service
Resident Manager, Real Estate Management
I started at Concordia in 1992 as a housekeeper, back when it was still Assisted Living. From there I became the receptionist at the main office, then a leasing agent, then assistant manager, and eventually manager. I have lived this property through two major earthquakes and the devastating 2017 fire season. Thirty-three years later I still could not tell you exactly how many years I spent in each role because it all just felt like one continuous journey.
Outside of work I am a world champion competitive powerlifter and have been competing across the US for 15 years. I am also a devoted Snoopy fanatic with over 200 plush Snoopys to prove it. I find my peace lifting weights and spending time with my husband and dog. Go Seattle Seahawks!

My Work at EAH Housing
I started as a housekeeper and grew into managing the same property I cleaned 33 years ago. That arc is my work at EAH.
One Thing I Love About EAH Housing
The mission. Finding people housing is everything.
