You drive over his bridge every day and probably stare at the sign while sitting in endless traffic — “Governor Albert D. Rosellini Bridge–Evergreen Point”. Yet would you recognize the man if you saw him? Well now you can. Rosellini was Governor of Washington from 1957 until 1965 and at age 99 is now the oldest living former Governor in the United States.
Here he is in the car with Kennedy in 1960 in front of the 5th Ave Theatre. Click on the thumbnail for the super high-res.

Have you ever seen the picture of Elvis presenting Governor Rosellini with a large ham? I think it’s located in the archives of the MOHAI. It’s GOLD, Jerry!
Albert’s cousin, Victor, was a well-known restauranteur in Seattle with Victor’s 610 and Rosellini’s Four-10. Many of Seattle’s big wheels frequented these places.

He was/is a Dem. And he just turned 100!
