| Info | Charles Stimson "Stim" Bullitt is the first child of A. Scott Bullitt (1877-1932) and Dorothy Stimson Bullitt. He grew up in The Highlands, north of Seattle, and was educated at Yale and the University of Washington School of Law. During World War II, he served in the U.S. Navy as a Lieutenant (junior grade) and he received a Purple Heart for a shrapnel wound at Leyte in the Philippine Islands.
Bullitt followed in his father’s footsteps and became active in Democratic politics. In 1961, he became president of King Broadcasting Company. He led the company, in particular KING-TV in Seattle, through the turbulent 1960s. In 1966, he took the almost unprecedented step of publicly criticizing U.S. foreign policy and the war in Vietnam. He also expanded the company to include Seattle magazine and a variety of other business activities.
He has written three books, including To Be a Politician (1959) about politics, and River Dark and Bright: A Memoir (1995).
