Mr. Mayor

Bailey Gatzert was Seattle’s 8th mayor. 8th in the lineup, first in our hearts, that is. Because, beard.

Get Lowrie

Walter Lowrie Weaver was a prosecutor before becoming a Congressman and a judge. As he wove a career in law, he also wove that neat and trim beard for himself... respectable.

Bad Bad J. Ross Browne

Oh, wait, this is John Ross Browne. They wrote a song about his beard. You know the one, it goes like...

And it's bad, bad John Ross Browne With the most badass beard in the whole damned town Bigger than old King Kong And hairier than a junkyard dog

Grab It

There once was a man named Josiah Abbott

Who made grooming his mustache a regular habit

It was curled and white

And always looked just right

I really want to reach out and grab it.

Joseph John Gill was living in Stubbleville... I mean, Steubenville, when he died. Oops. Freudian slip there.
