George Benson (1919–2004) was an American politician from Seattle. He was a five-time elected member of the Seattle City Council from 1974 to 1994.[1] Benson had a reputation for being a community advocate and insider due to his background, activism, and activity in city council.[1]

While he was on city council, Benson advocated for transit options.[2] His major project was establishing the Waterfront Streetcar, which was later named in his honor.[2]

Benson was born in Minnesota but moved to Seattle in 1938.[3] He graduated from the University of Washington School of Pharmacy in 1950.[4] While he was there he met Evelyn, whom he married.[4] Benson interacted with the pharmacy school throughout his life.[4]
