Ashley Ruiz Career
Ruiz attended and graduated from Mississippi State University where she earned her Bachelor of Science in meteorology/geoscience, which prepared her for all types of wild weather. She landed her first job in Columbus, Mississippi, where she covered numerous tornado outbreaks. Her affection for tropical meteorology sent me down to the Gulf Coast to Pensacola, Florida where she achieved experience tracking tropical systems, severe weather, and even winter weather.
She went back to Louisiana after three years in Pensacola, however, this time to Baton Rouge, Ruiz got promoted to chief meteorologist after a year and a half in Baton Rouge. Representation is so meaningful to me and she was honored to be the first woman (and Latina) chief meteorologist in Baton Rouge.
Ruiz covered hurricanes, severe weather, floods, snow, ice, droughts, and even wildfires during her tenure in Baton Rouge which allowed her to prepare for her next journey – the Pacific Northwest. In addition, she loves a challenge and looks forward to the challenges that Western Washington weather has to offer!
In December 2023, she went back to Washington with her husband and two dachshunds. We are so excited to explore the most beautiful region in the country. During her leisure time, she enjoys music, yoga, and animals. Ruiz is always looking for dog-friendly places or trails to check out.
Ashley Ruiz KING5
Being the biggest media company in the Pacific Northwest, KING 5 Media Group consists of multiple broadcast and digital properties. K5 is one of the strongest, most trusted local news brands in the country, providing the most extensive audiences across all screens among its peers in Seattle.
It all started on November 25, 1948, when “Channel 5” aired a high school football game, becoming the first television station in the Pacific Northwest. Eight months later, Dorothy Bullitt, a local businesswoman, bought the station and began its tradition of quality local programming. As a broadcast pioneer and visionary, Mrs. Bullitt decided to change “Channel 5” to the call letters KING.
KING emerged as a station with a reputation for excellence, as audiences quickly set the standard for stations across the country. on July 1, 1954, it was the first station in the Northwest to telecast in color and aired the first live, two-continent, three-nation debate via Early Bird Satellite. KING also aired an ambitious analysis and discussion of the Northwest’s energy resources called “The Electrical Storm.” This earned the station an Alfred I. DuPont-Columbia Award, one of journalism’s highest honors.
KING 5 was awarded the national Edward R. Murrow Award for Overall Excellence in 2015 and was again recognized in 2017 with yet another national Murrow for its continuing coverage of the Hanford nuclear facility.
