Councilman Wing Luke

Seattle City Councilman Wing Luke, acting mayor for a week, signed his first official document in both Chinese – as Luke Wing Chung – and English. The document was a bond for a heating-equipment dealer’s license. Luke is the first person of color on the Seattle City Council and the first Asian American elected to public office in the Pacific Northwest. (Times staff photo by Larry Dion, 1964)
