Biographical NoteReturn to Top
Herbert Bridge (1925-2018) was born in Seattle, Washington, graduated from the University of Washington, and lived in the city for the majority of his life. He worked at Ben Bridge Jewelers from childhood and began running the business, along with his brother Bob Bridge, at age 29. He enlisted in the United States Navy at age 17 and actively served in World War II and the Korean War, reaching the rank of Rear Admiral. He held leadership positions in numerous clubs, non-profits, and other organizations in Seattle. He was president of the Downtown Seattle Association, directly supporting and influencing growth in Seattle's retail core during the 1980s.
Ben Bridge Jeweler was established in Seattle in 1912 by Samuel Silverman. Ben Bridge, Silverman's son-in-law, joined the institution in 1922. Eventually, Bridge purchased the firm and renamed it Ben Bridge Jewelry. The firm has expanded to over 70 stores in 11 states, including a store in British Columbia, Canada. In 2000, the firm was acquired by Berkshire Hathaway, but continues to be run by Bridge's grandsons, Ed and Jon, who appear frequently in the film footage.
