Washington (State). Governor (1965-1977 : Evans)

Daniel Jackson Evans (born October 16, 1925) served three terms as governor of the state of Washington from 1965 to 1977, and represented the state in the United States Senate from 1983 to 1989. He was born and raised in Seattle, WA. He graduated from the University of Washington with a bachelor's and master's degree in civil engineering. Evans served in the Washington State House of Representatives from 1956 to 1965 before being elected governor. Evans served as governor from 1965 through 1977, still the only governor to serve three consecutive terms in Washington state history. From 1977 to 1983 Evans served as the second president of The Evergreen State College in Olympia, Washington, which Evans had created in 1967 by signing a legislative act authorizing the formation of the college. Evans was appointed to the United States Senate to fill a seat left vacant by the death of longtime senator Henry M. "Scoop" Jackson. Evans won a special election later that year and filled the remainder of Jackson's unexpired term, retiring from politics after the 1988 elections.
