Mayoral candidate Liem Tuai and his wife Winnie in an antique car, Seattle, November 3, 1973
Order an ImageAfter the death of City Council Member Paul Alexander, Seattle lawyer Liem Tuai was picked to finish out his term. Tuai was the second Chinese American to serve on the City Council.
Son of a Port Townsend WA railroad worker and laundry man, Tuai dropped out of high school to become a machinist at Boeing. He served in Japan with the U.S. Air Force from 1946 to 1950 and later graduated from the University of Washington and the UW Law School. After running unsuccessfully for mayor in 1973, Tuai was appointed to the King County Superior Court in 1977, where he served as a judge for 18 years.
In this image, Liem Tuai and his wife Winnie ride in a cavalcade of antique cars during the 1973 mayoral campaign. The cavalcade began in Greenwood, headed to Northgate, and traveled elsewhere around the city.
