TACOMA — Colleges across Western Washington, including four in Pierce County, will benefit from a $10 million donation from a late 101-year-old woman.
Eva Gordon, a Seattle resident who passed away in June 2018, left the donation to 17 colleges.
“The gift is one of the largest to community and technical colleges in Washington, with each college foundation receiving approximately $550,000,” according to a press release from Seattle Colleges Foundation.
Tacoma Community College, Bates Technical College, Clover Park Technical College and the Pierce College Foundation received donations.
