G. E. STEINER: PROMINENT on the list of attorneys of Seattle whose names add 
dignity and honor to the records of the state bar is G. E. Steiner.  A man of 
broad mind and liberal culture, he is usually found in those circles where 
intelligent men are met in discussion of matters vital to the city, state and 
nation, and his opinions carry weight.  His mind is naturally analytical and 
logical in its trend, and he is seldom at fault in the application of legal 
principles.  His opinions are, therefore, regarded as sound, whether as 
advocate of counselor.  His careful training along legal lines has been of 
great value to him in his activities, and has gained for him a reputation as a 
lawyer of which he has every reason to feel proud.  Mr. Steiner has been 
connected with much important litigation and his practice is large and of a 
representative character.  He puts forth every effort to further the welfare 
and progress of Seattle, and his labors have been directly beneficial.  He is 
a man of resolute purpose and determination, his efforts being directed along 
constantly broadening lines of greater usefulness.  Mr. Steiner is a native 
son of Ohio, and came to Seattle in 1900, and received the degree of LL. B. 
from the Universtiy of Washington, in 1902, in which year he was admitted to 
the bar in Washington.  In 1912 Mr. Steiner went to the State Senate, and for 
six years was a member of that body.  He served as chairman of the Committee 
on Fisheries and his activities are reflected in the laws of the state 
covering that period.  In 1908 he married Miss Jessie Cummingham, and the 
couple have two childre, Bettie, aged 7, and John, aged 4.  Mr. Steiner is a 
member of the Arctic club and the Seattle and Washington State bar 
associations.
