In addition to being mayor, Gatzert was charter member of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce, served on the Seattle City Council 1872–1873 and 1877–1878[4] and was president of Puget Sound National Bank and Peoples Savings Bank.[2] He co-founded Washington's second synagogue (Seattle's first), Ohaveth Shalom,[2] which opened in 1892. Washington's first synagogue was built in Spokane.
The famous sternwheeler Bailey Gatzert is named for him, as is an elementary school in Seattle.[5]
