Bruce Gryniewski is a Principal in the Seattle office of Gallatin Public Affairs.

Bruce brings to Gallatin a proven record in building consensus and creating alliances between seemingly disparate groups and individuals — particularly in the area of environmental issues.  Prior to joining The Gallatin Group, Bruce served as executive director of Washington Conservation Voters (WCV), an environmental organization that backs candidates for office who support conservation policies that enhance our quality of life.  During his tenure, WCV became one of the most influential, effective and well-funded State League organizations in the nation.  Bruce was also one of the principal architects of the “Priorities for Healthy Washington” program, which in addition to leading to unprecedented policy gains for the environment in Washington state, is a national model of cooperation and success for other Conservation Voter Leagues.

Prior to WCV, Bruce was executive director of Washington CeaseFire, an organization dedicated to reducing gun violence and supporting responsible gun ownership. His moderate approach and coalition-building skills were demonstrated by the formation of a unique coalition of gun rights proponents and gun safety advocates who came together to mutually support safe gun storage legislation in the Washington State Legislature.

Bruce’s background also includes graduate study in cultural anthropology at the University of Rochester in New York.  He spent two years in the Federated States of Micronesia, where he conducted research on the politics of nationhood in the Southwest Pacific.

In his free time, Bruce enjoys spending time with his family outdoors camping and hiking.

You can reach Bruce at (206) 443-8846.
