Now. it is. as I said. one of the most diverse areas of our State. When the Seattle Times ran a story about Speaker OBriens life and how his values were shaped. they said: Mr. OBrien was just 7 years old when his Irish immigrant father. a detective with the Seattle Police. came home after a particularly tough day on the job. He turned to his eldest son and asked. rhetorically. "What will ever become of you if something happens to me?" Two years later his father was shot and killed while on duty. That left the young Mr. OBrien to help his mother.. also an Irish immigrant. care for their siblings. By the time he was a teenager. he was bringing home a paycheck as a truckdriver for Keefes Grocery in Rainier Valley. He went on to start his own accounting firm.
