Jimmy Carter (1924-2024) was the Governor of Georgia from 1971 to 1975 and the 39th President of the United States from 1977 to 1981. He was both the longest-lived and the longest-retired President in US history. After leaving the White House, Carter worked on fighting communicable disease, helped build housing for low-income families, and promoted human rights, for which he received the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002.

This image shows Carter in Issaquah at a book signing for his book "Living Faith," which is about his faith and his experiences as a Southern Baptist Sunday school teacher. During this visit, Carter was also interviewed about his views on Christianity and his relationships with his family.
