Jim Ellis (August 5, 1921 – October 21, 2019) was an American lawyer and civil activist from Seattle, Washington. He was associated with the Municipal League and led a committee that created the Municipality of Metropolitan Seattle to combat water pollution. Ellis was also a member of the Forward Thrust committee that successfully passed several major civic improvements, and was later involved in the creation of the Washington State Convention Center and Mountains to Sound Greenway.

Early life

edit

James Reed Ellis was born on August 5, 1921, in Oakland, California, the eldest of three sons for Floyd Ellis and Hazel Reed Ellis, both from Eastern Washington.[1] He moved with his family to Seattle's Lakewood neighborhood and graduated from Franklin High School in 1939.[2] Ellis earned a scholarship to attend Yale University, but enlisted in the U.S. military alongside his younger brother Robert following the Attack on Pearl Harbor. He graduated from Yale in 1942 and earned a certificate in meteorology from the University of Chicago before being called into active duty with the U.S. Air Force in March 1943.[2][3] Ellis's younger brother Robert was killed in action in February 1945, which he later described as "the seminal drive for [his] public service life".[2]

Career and activism

edit

Ellis graduated from the University of Washington School of Law in 1948 and passed the state bar exam the following year. He joined the law firm of Preston, Thorgrimson & Horowitz, and later became a partner before it was merged into Preston Gates & Ellis.[2]

After becoming a member of the Municipal League, Ellis was hired to draft a new county charter under the supervision of prosecuting attorney Charles O. Carroll, who opposed the new charter. The hiring and salary were challenged in a suit that was appealed to the Washington Supreme Court, ruling it valid.[2]

Ellis was appointed to the University of Washington Board of Regents in 1965 by Governor Dan Evans. He retired from his practice in 1991.[3]

Legacy

edit

Ellis is described as one of the greatest civic leaders in Seattle's history, despite never serving in an elected office.[4] Freeway Park in downtown Seattle was renamed in his honor in 2008.[5]

  • Ellis Pavilion at T-Mobile Park?

Personal life

edit

Ellis met his wife, Mary Lou Earling, in high school but later reconnected with her following his graduation from Yale. They began dating during that year and married on November 18, 1944, while they were both deployed at Mountain Home Air Force Base in Idaho; Ellis was continuing his military meteorology training while Earling had completed pilot training for the Women Airforce Service Pilots, which was dissolved shortly after her graduation.[2] They had four children together. Mary Lou Ellis died in 1983 from complications of diabetes.[1]

Washington's 1st congressional district is a congressional district in the U.S. state of Washington that elects a member of the United States House of Representatives. It is one of ten congressional districts from the state and generally encompasses the northeastern suburbs of the Seattle metropolitan area in King and Snohomish counties. Since 2012, the districts has been represented by Suzan DelBene, a Democrat from Medina.

The 1st district was created in 1909 to replace Washington's at-large district, which had been in place since statehood in 1889. From 2013 to 2022, the district encompassed most of northwestern Washington, including the rural areas of Skagit and Whatcom counties.

Map of Washington's ten congressional districts for the United States House of Representatives since redistricting took effect in 2022

Washington was admitted as a U.S. state in November 1889 and has sent congressional delegations to the United States Senate and United States House of Representatives, beginning with the 51st United States Congress.[1] Since the 2010 U.S. census, Washington has ten congressional districts that each elect a member of the House to two-year terms; two senators are elected statewide to six-year terms, as with all other states.[2] These districts are re-drawn every ten years by a bipartisan commission.

Before becoming a state, Washington Territory elected a non-voting delegate at-large to Congress from 1853 to 1889.

The U.S. state of Washington organizes a gubernatorial election every four years for voters to elect the Governor of Washington, the state's head of government, to a four-year term. The quadrennial gubernatorial general elections are held on Election Day in early November, concurrently with elections for the President of the United States, Lieutenant Governor of Washington, and other state and local offices. The inaugural election was held shortly before Washington was granted admitted as a state and is the only gubernatorial election to not be held within the four-year cycle.

Since the 1984 election, the winning candidate for governor has been a member of the Democratic Party. The state switched to a jungle primary system in 2008.
