BENTON EMBREE is a member of the bar of Washington who has studied broadly and 
thinks deeply, and his conclusions are sound and logical.  The courts 
recognize the wisdom of his reasonings, and his correct application of legal 
principles to the points at issue.  The thoroughness with which he prepares 
all matters entrusted to him has characterized all of his professional 
activities, and made him one of the strong and forceful members of the Seattle 
bar.  He has always preferred to handle his cases in the open and to advise 
along lines that are equitable and convincing.  He is approachable, genial, 
and at all times a very busy man.  Advancement has come to him as a direct 
result of his close application to and thorough preparation for his 
profession, and his unfaltering devotion to the interests of his clients.  Mr. 
Embree is a native of Oregon, where he was born in 1866,  After obtaining his 
academic training in the public schools he entered the University of Oregon.  
In 1891 he was admitted to the bar in Walla Walla, Wash.  He came to Seattle 
in 1898.  In 1897 Mr. Embree married Miss Florence P. Gale.  He is a member of 
the Arctic club and the Seattle and the Washington bar association.
