Seattle attorney and judge Edward Everett Smith (1862-1933) was born in Derby, Connecticut. After graduating from Hopkins Grammar School in New Haven, Connecticut in 1879, Smith enrolled at Yale University. He graduated from Yale in 1883, but went back for two more years to earn his law degree in 1885. Smith then moved to Seattle and began practicing as an attorney. In 1912, he was appointed to serve on the King County Superior Court and served in this position until 1933. Smith was an active advocate for troubled youth both off and on the bench.
