From an AI overview: "Times in the Life of a Seattle Icon: Joe Diamond, Lawyer is a 2005 authorized biography written by John Pierre about the prominent Seattle attorney and parking-lot magnate Josef "Joe" Diamond. About the Subject. Early Life: Born in Los Angeles in 1907 to Russian-Jewish immigrant parents, Diamond moved to Seattle as a toddler. He graduated from the University of Washington School of Law in 1931.

He also co-founded Gov-Mart, a membership discount store that served as an early model for Costco. Legal Career: As a hard-driving attorney and long-time partner at Diamond & Sylvester, he notably argued the high-profile reverse-discrimination case Marco DeFunis v. Odegaard before the U.S. Supreme Court in 1974. About the Book. Author: John Pierre, a colleague and long-time associate of Diamond. Publisher: Classic Day Publishing (Seattle).
