Dorothy Priscilla "Patsy" Bullitt Collins, a member of one of Seattle's oldest and wealthiest families, devoted much of her life to working for the public good, donating first her time and energy and then -- after receiving a multi-million-dollar inheritance -- giving away a great deal of her money.
Born in Seattle on September 24, 1920, the second of three children of A. Scott Bullitt (1887-1932) and Dorothy Stimson (1892-1989). Her parents called her "Peach"; she was "Patsy" to almost everyone else. Her father was a Kentucky-born lawyer with a passion for politics. Her mother was the daughter of timber baron Charles D. Stimson (1857-1928), who made a fortune during the Klondike Gold Rush in the late 1890s and then made even more money by investing in downtown Seattle real estate.
