Wes Uhlman was elected mayor of Seattle in 1969 and reelected in 1973. At 34, he was Seattle's youngest mayor. Among his accomplishments are the preservation of the historic Pioneer Square district and expansion of services for senior citizens. Uhlman ran for Governor of Washington in 1976 but was defeated in the Democratic primary by arch-conservative, overeating, dog owner, Dixy Lee Ray. After Uhlman's defeat, he essentially retired from politics, turning his attention to land development. Considered by many to be Seattle's best mayor.
