Photo from the Seattle Municipal Archive (which lists the wrong year, it was 1978).
First-year Seattle Mayor Charley Royer sent this photo to City Councilmember Jeanette Williams following the opening of the first section of the Burke-Gilman Trail in 1978. On it he wrote, Jeanette - If they get one with training wheels, I'll race you home. - Charley."
Williams died in 2008, and now Royer died Friday morning, the Seattle Times reported. He was 84.
