Statement from County Councilmember Larry Phillips on the passing of former Washington Governor Albert D. Rosellini

Summary

Story

Metropolitan King County Councilmember Larry Phillips released the following statement regarding the passing of Governor Rosellini:

“I have great admiration for Governor Rosellini’s many public contributions to the state of Washington over his 101 years. As governor he brought our major public institutions into the modern area, making lasting impacts on mental health hospitals, the University of Washington, Harborview Hospital, and many more.

“After his terms as governor, he continued to serve our community with great longevity and dedication, working in his office every day until he was 100 years old. I enjoyed catching up with him every year at the Catholic Seaman’s Club annual luncheon where I had the opportunity to sit with him and hear words of wisdom about public involvement.

“His life should be celebrated for the legacy he left to our state. He is an inspiration for us all, and will be greatly missed.”
