Biographical Note

Joshua Green, Sr. (1869-1975) was a prominent Seattle businessman whose family moved to the area from Mississippi in 1886. Green quickly entered the transportation industry through a job with the surveying crew of the Seattle, Lake Shore & Eastern Railway. His family was acquainted with Seattle mayor Bailey Gatzert, who helped open doors for Green in his early years. Committed to owning a business, Green and his partners purchased their first steamship fleet, called La Conner Trading and Transportation Company. This venture successfully turned a profit during the Klondike Gold Rush in the late 1890s with routes to Alaska.

In 1903, La Conner merged with the Alaska Steamship / Puget Sound Navigation Company. Green was president of that company until 1927, when he steered his career toward banking. Having purchased the Peoples Savings Bank in 1925, he proceeded with numerous other bank acquisitions, with prosperous results. Joshua Green, Jr. took on the role of president of Peoples Bank and Trust Company in 1949, but Green, Sr. remained active in the profession. The bank later became Peoples National Bank.

In 1969, just before his 100th birthday, Green declared that he wished to leave banking and return to work on the waterfront, citing his previous experience with steamships; one of his early positions in Seattle was purser on theHenry Bailey. Green was active in business and leisure until his death at age 105 in 1975. Several news articles spotlighted the man and his wife, Laura, for their longevity and consistent community involvement; Mrs. Green was a founding member of the Sunset Club, a Seattle women's association that sponsored annual debutante balls. The Greens were also admired for their elegant home at 1204 Minor Ave., now part of the Washington Trust for Historic Preservation.
