'''Arthur Bernard Langlie''' (July 25, 1900 – July 24, 1966) was an [[attorney]] and [[Republican Party|Republican]] [[politician]] who served as the 12th and 14th [[Governor]] of [[Washington]] State, with service, respectively from 1941 to 1945 and 1949 to 1957. Earlier, he was the [[mayor]] of [[Seattle]], the only Seattle mayor to become governor.<ref>{{cite web|url=ms/home/governors/past-governors-bios/page_washington/col2-content/main-content-list/title_langlie_arthur.html|title=Washington Governor Arthur B. Langlie|publisher=National Governors Association|accessdate=September 1, 2015}}</ref>
Langlie was born to a [[Norway|Norwegian]] [[United States|American]] couple, Bjarne A. Langlie (1875-1935), and the former Carrie Dahl (1875-1959), who also had [[Netherlands|Dutch]] descent. He moved with his family in 1909 to the Kitsap Peninsula of Washington. he graduated from Union High School in Bremerton, Washington. In 1925, he earned a Bachelor of Laws degree from the [[University of Washington]] in Seattle.<ref name=findagrave>Arthur Bernard Langlie (1900-1966) - Find A Grave Memorial, accessed August 23, 2021.</ref>
After nearly three years as mayor of Seattle, Langlie at the age of forty was the state's youngest governor until 1964, when [[Moderate Republican]] [[Daniel J. Evans]] was elected to the first of three terms as governor. Langlie was defeated for re-election in 1944 by Democrat Monrad C. Wallgren but won the office back by defeating Wallgren in 1948 even though [[Harry Truman]] defeated [[Thomas E. Dewey]] in Washington State. Langlie is thus far the only Washington governor to regain that office after losing it.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304130434/http://digitalwa.statelib.wa.gov:2012/cdm4/item_viewer.php?CISOROOT=%2Fgovernors&CISOPTR=22&CISOBOX=1&REC=1|title=Arthur Bernard Langlie|publisher=Washington Rural Heritage|accessdate=September 1, 2015}}.</ref>
In 1956, Langlie ran unsuccessfully against Democratic [[United States Senator]] Warren G. Magnuson. At the top of the Republican ballot, the [[Dwight Eisenhower|Eisenhower]]-[[Richard Nixon|Nixon]] ticket carried Washington State., as did Nixon in 1960 and 1972, but not 1968. Upon leaving politics, Langlie was named by owner Norton Simon as the president of the McCall Corporation, which publishes a popular women's [[magazine]].<ref>Kathleen E. Endres and Theresa L.
