Marshall Hatch and his wife, Helen Rupp Hatch, began to collect art in the 1960s, inspired in part by Helen Hatch's friendship with the artist Morris Graves. The couple went on to amass a highly regarded collection of Northwest art, acquiring some of the best examples of works by important artists such as Morris Graves, Mark Tobey, George Tsutakawa, Guy Anderson, Leo Kenney, Richard Gilkey, and Kenneth Callahan. Hatch was a long-time supporter of both the Seattle Art Museum, where he served as president of the board of directors from 1982-1986, and the Museum of Northwest Art, which he helped establish and later served as an honorary trustee.
