Paul W. Bryan

Attorney

Born and raised in Seattle, Paul graduated from Roosevelt High School and the University of Washington. He chose Kitsap as the best place to raise his family and practice law.

At the age of 14, he got his first job as a dishwasher at the UW. He moved up to become the potato peeler at Spud Fish and Chips. While in high school, he landed a job as an apprentice scenery builder at the Seattle Repertory Theater. This led to a journeyman membership at the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees Local #15.

Rather than being drafted, Paul chose to serve in the Navy and was trained as an electrician and a salvage diver. Upon returning to #15, he served on the executive board and as a business representative and president.

Paul used his GI Bill benefits to attend college and law school. He graduated from the Northwestern School of Law in 1983. After graduating, he continued to work with Local #15 as its President until his wife and children necessitated him to go into practice as a lawyer. His years with the rank and file made representing workers easy for him. That was in 1991 – nearly 30 years ago.

Paul proudly maintains his journeyman status with the local and proudly continues to represent injured workers. Helping workers navigate the twisted system while keeping their dignity is what he focuses on.

He will continue to stand with the working brothers and sisters, and he is proud to wear jeans to work.
