Portrait of former Seattle mayor Charley Royer taken sometime during his three terms as mayor, between 1978 and 1990; Royer passed away July 26, 2024 at age 84.
Royer was born in Medford, OR in 1939. He joined the Army in 1961 and after leaving the Army studied Journalism at the University of Oregon. Royer said the modern version of the Seattle Spirit is also about getting over old rivalries like the one with Tacoma – which dated to the railroad age but which continued until recently.
“So don’t engage in that, and certainly don’t engage in beating up the press,” Royer added. “And don’t be quoted in the papers or on TV saying that the media doesn’t understand or that they’re out to get me or whatever.”One big part of that skill and leadership emerging and taking action, said Charles Royer, is about the timing and about a critical mass of the public having the will and the stomach necessary to tackle the big issues.
Royer is survived by his wife Lynn Claudon, two children; Suzanne Royer McCone and Jordan Royer, and 4 grandchildren and one great grandchild.The Humane Society weren’t prepared to take in at least 50 cats today alone and they all come from one Pierce County home.The Washington Fish and Wildlife Commission has ruled to keep gray wolves in Washington on the state's endangered species list.
