Caption: John H. McGraw, Governor, 1893-1897. Filed in Portraits--McGraw, John

John H. McGraw (1850-1910) was born in Penobscot County, Maine. He was elected Washington state's second governor in 1892. He arrived in Seattle from Maine during the 1870s at the age of 26, and got a job as a clerk in the Occidental Hotel. He joined Seattle's tiny police force and that was the beginning of his successful Pacific Northwest career in law enforcement, business, and politics. He became police chief, then King County sheriff. He studied law, and ran for governor on the Republican ticket. As governor he supported the University of Washington and the Lake Washington Ship Canal Project. After serving as governor, he joined the 1897 gold rush, then returned to Seattle, and went into real estate. He was one of Seattle's leading businessmen, and served as president of the Chamber of Commerce.
