CHARLES A. RIDDLE: A LAWYER of Seattle who has built up a splendid clientele, 
as a result of hard, conscientious work, is Charles A. Riddle.  He has at all 
times conducted his practice with ability and dignity, carefully preparing his 
cases and presenting them with clearness and force.  Court records are proof 
of his capacity as a lawyer, indicating that he is associated with much 
important litigation, and has many well earned victories to his credit.  His 
influence is always found on the side of right, progress and improvement, and 
in his chosen profession he has proven himself an able advocate in the temple 
of justice, who, while devoted to the interests of his clients, never 
overlooks the fact that he owes a still higher allegiance to the majesty of 
the law.  He is accorded a liberal and distinctly representative clientage and 
is regarded, generally, as a strong and able member of the bar.  Mr. Riddle is 
a native son of Pennsylvania.  His educational training was received in the 
public schools of Pennsylvania and the Indiana State Normal School.  It was in 
1890 that he was admitted to the Pennsylvania bar, and the year following 
located in Seattle, since which time he has been engaged in general practice, 
confining his work to civil matters.  In 1893 Mr. Riddle married Miss Louise 
Powers, and they have two children, both daughters, Mrs. Rosamond Rinker, wife 
of Captain Edw. R. Rinker, formerly in overseas service with the United States 
army, and now engaged in banking, in San Francisco, Calif., and Miss 
Katharine Riddle.  Mr. Riddle is a member of the Rainier club, and the city, 
state and national bar associations.
