Rice served eleven years, participating as chairs of the Energy, Finance, and Budget committees, and was Council President for one term. From 1989 to 1997 Rice served two terms as the 49th mayor, becoming Seattle's first African-American mayor. Rice has remained a civic leader as CEO and then president of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Seattle from 1998 to 2004, and then CEO of the non-profit Seattle Foundation from 2009-2013.
