Henry Broderick (Seattle)
Henry Broderick was a Seattle, Washington realtor, civic leader, memoirist, and Seattle historian. He arrived in Seattle in 1901 and, in 1908, founded the real estate firm that he would turn into the citys largest.
Broderick was born and raised in Minneapolis, Minnesota where he attended the public schools until the financial panic of 1893 caused him to drop out at age 13. From that time, he worked to help support his family, but continued to study informally on his own . He would later describe himself as a graduate of the Minneapolis Public Library.
