Acknowledging the impact our founder Paul G. Allen continues to make on the city of Seattle, Mayor Jenny Durkan proclaimed Friday, January 18, 2019, Paul G. Allen Day.
While most knew him as the co-founder of Microsoft – a technologist, philanthropist, space pioneer and guitarist – he was also a Seattlite through-and-through.
Paul's dedication to Seattle was reflected in everything he pursued; from his purchase of the Seattle Seahawks to preserving and celebrating the cultural history of the region at his museums.
His investment in the Pacific Northwest has helped Seattle become a world-class destination for arts, culture, research and education.
