RAYMOND D. OGDEN, senior member of the firm of Ogden & Clarke, of Seattle, is
another of the successful lwyers on whom I have pleasure in commenting in my
work.  Mr. Ogden is a native son of the state of Iowa where he was born in
1876.  Following public school preparatory training, he entered the University
of Iowa, from which he graduated in 1900 with the degree of Bachelor, of
Philosophy, and in 1901 the same well known college conferred upon him the
degree of LL. B.  In 1901 he located in Seattle and for the past twenty or
more years has been actively engaged in the practice of his profession here,
and today enjoys a clientele of which any man could  well afford to feel
proud.  Mr. Ogden is popular among the members of the bar and enjoys the
confidence of the judiciary.  While a man of marked ability he modestly
refrains from any comment theron, being unassuming in everything he
undertakes.  The zeal with which he has devoted his energies to his profession
and the careful regard evidenced for the interests of his clients and
assiduous and unrelaxing attention to all the details of his cases have
brought a splendid clientele, and have made him successful in its conduct.
His arguments have elicited warm commendation, not only from his associates of
the bar, but from the bench as well.  In 1908 Mr. Ogden married Miss Emma E.
Lynch, and the couple have three children, two girls and a boy.  He is a
member of the Shrine, Arctic club, Chamber of Commerce, Rainier Golf and
Country club, and the county, state and national bar associations.
