Dorothy Stimson Bullitt (February 5, 1892–June 27, 1989) was a charter member of JLS, civic leader, women’s advocate and the founder of the King Broadcasting Company. A widow at the age of 40, Mrs. Bullitt was the single mother of three children during the Great Depression. After both her father and husband passed away, she took over her family lumber and real estate business and, despite knowing little about the industry, personally restored the business to prominence. From her real estate success, Dorothy was able to purchase a television station business, all while raising her family and volunteering countless hours through the JLS and other community groups. She was a remarkable woman whose impact on our community will be felt in Seattle for many generations to come. We honor and revere her lifetime contribution to our community and dedication to JLS.
