Draft:Kenneth Mackintosh

Kenneth Mackintosh (1875 – July 14, 1957) was a justice of the Washington Supreme Court from March 30, 1918 to April 16, 1928, serving as chief justice from January 10, 1927 until his retirement on April 16, 1928.

Born in Seattle, Washington, Mackintosh attended Stanford University and Columbia Law School, and was admitted to practice following his graduation. In 1905, Mackintosh became prosecuting attorney of King County, Washington, in which capacity he served two full terms. In 1912, he was elected to the King County Superior bench.

"In that capacity he quickly demonstrated ideal qualifications for the judiciary, and members of the bar were not slow in seeing that in this brilliant young jurist was good timber for the supreme bench. It is in the latter capacity that he is now serving, perhaps the youngest member of that body. Some of the most important opinions handed down by that court were written by Mackintosh."

In 1908 Mackintosh married Francisca Arques, and the couple had one child.
