Former Republican Governor John Spellman has died. Spellman, who was elected during a Republican landslide in 1980, served one term. He was defeated in 1984 during tough economic times in our state.
Spellman was King County's first executive, a position much like a mayor. He was the face behind building the Kingdome, which brought major league baseball and NFL football to Seattle.
Spellman was the last Republican that this state has elected.
