Frink (January 21, 1855 – August 31, 1914) was an early Washington State politician and businessperson.[1][2] Born in Pennsylvania in 1855, Frink attended Washington College in Topeka, and began a teaching career in Kansas. Arriving in Seattle in 1874, he both taught and served as principal at Seattle's Belltown School. Capitalizing on the City's growth, Frink formed a successful foundry business, Washington Iron Works. He later established the Seattle Electric Company, was a director of the Seattle Savings Bank, and served as a Washington State senator. He lost in the 1900 general election in a bid to unseat John Rankin Rogers as Governor of Washington State, running as a Republican.[3] In 1906 Frink became a member of the Seattle Board of Park Commissioners, and later its president. In 1906 he donated the property that became Frink Park to the City of Seattle.[4][5] He died on August 31, 1914 and is buried in Lake View Cemetery, Seattle.[6] References1. ^{{citation|title=Steel & Searl's legislative souvenir manual for 1895-1896|author=Will A.
