About Robin W
Robin W Trickler moved from the study of people to the study of law. She earned a B.A. in anthropology from the University of Colorado at Boulder in 1999 and a J.D. from Seattle University School of Law in 2005. Those academic choices shaped a practical approach to legal work. She trained to see systems and the people who inhabit them.
After law school she established her practice in Washington. She is admitted to practice in that state. Over time she developed professional ties that extend beyond the courtroom and into community organizations tied to property and local business.
Trickler has taken on leadership roles in volunteer and industry groups. She joined the board of Trends Northwest in 2012 and served as its president in 2015. For nearly two decades she has held a leadership position at the Washington Rental Owners Association, serving as president beginning in 2008 and continuing in that role. Those long-term commitments reflect a steady engagement with property owners and local business networks.
Her professional record also lists an association with All American Landscape Maintenance Inc., doing business as Diversified Management Services, Inc. That connection points to work tied to property management and operations, rather than an abstract interest in policy. Colleagues and clients have pointed to her practical knowledge of the day-to-day problems owners and managers face, including maintenance, tenancy issues and local regulation.
Trickler’s career shows a blend of legal training and community leadership. She draws on her academic background in anthropology when she considers how rules affect groups and neighborhoods. The law degree provided technical skill, while years on boards and trade associations have given her a sense of how regulations play out in practice.
She maintains an active presence in regional organizations. Her roles at Trends Northwest and the Washington Rental Owners Association have kept her connected to evolving local concerns. Those positions also involve governance, event planning and advocacy on topics that matter to small business owners and landlords.
People who work with her describe a lawyer who combines technical legal training with a practical understanding of property operations. That combination has informed her public service and private practice. Her current practice concentrates on legal matters affecting rental property owners and property management.
