Biographical NoteReturn to Top

Morris "Morrie" Alhadeff, a Seattle native, was General Manager and Chairman of the Board of the Longacres racetrack in Renton. Strong supporters of civil rights, Alhadeff and his wife Joan Gottstein Alhadeff (whose father, Joseph Gottstein (1891-1971), founded Longacres) were great patrons of Northwest art and collected equine-themed prints and paintings. Prior to his work at Longacres, Alhadeff was employed by several radio stations using the radio name Jerry Morris. Alhadeff served the Seattle community on numerous boards of directors throughout his life. --Paula Becker
