Charles “Charley” Royer, who served as Seattle’s mayor from 1978-1990, died Friday morning at his home in Gearhart, Oregon. Royer was born in Oregon, where he studied journalism at the University of Oregon. He worked at KOIN in Portland, and later KING in Seattle, where he worked closely with his brother Bob, who died before him. According to a statement released on Friday evening, he was co-chair of Friends of the Seattle Waterfront Committee and a former chairman and member of the Ballpark Public Facilities District. “As the 48th mayor of Seattle, he accrued multiple accomplishments over his 12 years leading the city, tackling a number of issues ranging from healthcare, housing and poverty. His accomplishments included gaining public support for precedent-setting low-income housing ballot measures in 1981 (the Senior Housing Bond) and in 1986 (the Low-Income Multi-family Levy).
