Biographical Note

Charles Stimson "Stim" Bullitt was born in 1919, the oldest of three children of Dorothy Stimson Bullitt and Alexander Scott Bullitt. He attended Yale University and the University of Washington Law School, and was admitted to the Washington State Bar in 1949. He served in the Navy during World War II and won a Purple Heart. He served as President of the Bullitt Company, 1955-1965, and of the family's business, KING Broadcasting Co., in 1961-1971. He was president of Harbor Properties in Seattle in 1972-1996, and chaired its board in 1996-2001. Stim Bullitt passed away on April 19, 2009 at the age of 89.

Priscilla "Patsy" Bullitt Collins (1920-2003) was the middle of the Bullitt siblings, known for her liberal political views and extensive record of civic involvement. With her sister, Harriet, she owned the King Broadcasting Company from 1989 to 1991. She restored and preserved the Stimson-Green mansion on Seattle's First Hill, and contributed to the Bullitt Foundation endowment for environmental and educational causes. Other charitable causes included the Seattle Public Library Foundation, the Puget Sound Environmental Learning Center (now IslandWood), the Cascades Conservation Partnership, and funds for schools in Afghanistan and Iraq.

Harriet Overton Bullitt (1924-), the youngest child of Scott and Dorothy Bullitt, founded Pacific Search magazine (later Pacific Northwest) and ran it for 25 years. In the 1990s, she started Sleeping Lady Conference and Retreat Center near Leavenworth, and a radio broadcasting company with stations in Chelan and Leavenworth. In addition to being associated with numerous conservation causes, she serves on boards that include the Bullitt Foundation, Icicle Creek Music Center, and the National Audubon Society.

Katharine "Kay" Muller Bullitt (1925-) was married to Stimson Bullitt and is the mother of Dorothy C. Bullitt. Education was one of her many political and charitable interests. She founded Initiatives in Public Education (PIPE), chaired the Bedouin Early Education Project, and helped organize Seattle's Coalition for Quality Integrated Education.

Dorothy C. Bullitt (1955-) is a lawyer and author of Filling the Void: Six Steps from Loss to Fulfillment and (with Jim Wickwire) Addicted to Danger: a Memoir. She is an executive director of Habitat for Humanity, and chaired Washington State's Rhodes Scholar Selection Committee. She serves on many civic, charitable, business and academic boards.
