Born in Kansas, Charles Landes lived in San Francisco and eventually
followed his older brother, Henry Landes, to the Pacific Northwest. (Henry
Landes eventually became the president of the University of Washington.)
Charles attended the University of Washington and graduated in 1902 with a
major in Biology. He was voted the wittiest in the Junior class of 1901. After
graduation, he became a science teacher, working in a number of high schools in
Tacoma, until he retired in 1945. Beginning in 1921, he worked summers as a
park ranger for 20 years at Mount Rainier National Park. He was one of the
original members of the Tacoma Auxiliary of the Mountaineers Club and led
mountaineering trips. Landes died on January 20, 1963, survived by his two
sons, Richard R. and Hugh C. Landes.
