Boswell, H. James. American Blue Book Western Washington. Seattle, Lowman and Hanford Co., 1922. p. 82. PIERRE BARNES is probably the best known and most successful patent attorney in Seattle. He is a man to whom success has come as a result of the progress he has made for clients, and the fair manner in which he has treated everyone. Mr. Barnes was born in Indiana, in 1866. His early educational training was had in public schools. He took a course in engineering at Cooper Institute, New York, and also studied in Washinton D. C. He came to Seattle in 1889, and in 1890 entered practice, confining himself to patent law. Some decidedly important devices have been successfully patented for clients by Mr. Barnes. He is one of the most conscientious men in his line of work in the Northwest and ministers to a large and representative clientele. I doubt very much if he has a superior in the state on patent law, he being conceded to be an authority on many matters in connection therewith. In 1900 Mr. Barnes married Miss Ida Tulloch, and the couple have two children, big boys, Pierre Tulloch, aged 19, and Edward E., 17. He is a member of the Rotary club, Chamber of Commerce and the Uniterian Church. Submitted by: Judy Bivens * * * * Notice: These biographies were transcribed for the Washington Biographies Project.
