The Jerry M. Brockey Student Center sits at the center of South Seattle College’s campus, where students gather to connect with each other, and the cultural celebrations of a diverse community take place. It is fittingly named after a man who shaped a college from a vision to reality, serving as the college’s president from 1977 – 1995. Jerry Brockey passed away in March 2020. A celebration of life is scheduled for Mr. Brockey on Saturday, September 25, at 2 p.m. in the Brockey Center.
Born in 1933 on a small farm in North Dakota, Jerry Brockey eventually landed in Seattle where he built his career in education as a teacher and coach at Seattle Public Schools. He later joined the Seattle Community College district and was appointed president of South Seattle in 1977.
Brockey was known as a passionate and tough leader, with high expectations and a legendarily firm handshake. Brockey led the college’s growth as a premier workforce education and college transfer destination. Former colleagues described Brockey as an “egalitarian … an effective president, and a natural leader,” a “welcoming executive that created a welcoming environment for students,” and a president who was “really good at bringing people together.”
West Seattle historian and journalist Clay Eals, in remarks shared with West Seattle Blog, said, “Jerry also was a highly visible connector between the college and the rest of West Seattle, no easy feat given the college’s geographical isolation.” Eals went on to say, “He was a true force for good, worthy of admiration.”
Jerry Brockey’s legacy is ever-present at South Seattle College through the Brockey Student Center and the Brockey Endowed Scholarship, which has helped many students find financial stability so they can focus on their studies.
For more information on the Brockey Celebration of Life, call 206-234-6752.
It’s happening from 2 pm-6 pm this Saturday. We’ll feature Marzen from Bosk Brewery on tap, brats from Meat the Live Butcher in White Center on the grill, and a nice outdoor space to enjoy them.

The City of Seattle has the 18th largest population in the United States, yet has the third highest number of individuals experiencing homelessness, with over 10,000 people.
The present discussion around the topic of homelessness is at its most contentious point in recent memory. Exacerbated by the pandemic and the subsequent impacts to the shelter system, the prevalence of unsheltered homelessness and its increased visibility has fueled a noticeable rise in tension around the subject and a public yearning for a governmental solution. The next Mayor will arguably be decided based on their stance toward folks experiencing homelessness and their policies for housing displaced individuals in our community.
In this special event hosted by Resolution to End Homelessness, we will be joined by the 2021 Mayoral finalists of the City of Seattle– Lorena Gonzalez & Bruce Harrell — to discuss the most urgent issue facing our region. We will hear their thoughts about the state of homelessness and their proposals for policies that will ensure that every person in our region has access to adequate housing. This event is open to the public. Anyone that is interested in learning more about homelessness and hearing the solutions proposed by our mayoral candidates to address the crisis are encouraged to attend. Registration is limited, so sign up today. If you are unable to attend the discussion live, a recording of the conversation will be shared after the event.
