Founding trustees were Alec Bayless, John Robinson, and David Sprague.
Following are listed public officeholders who are or have been members of the Metropolitan Democratic Club of Seattle.
Over the past 62 years MDC membership has included many others—too numerous to list—prominent in academia, business, law, labor, civic affairs, community service and Democratic Party leadership.
Some members have served in several capacities. They are listed only once, however, under the office for which they are best known.
