Brown, April

April Brown was born in Wenatchee, Washington and has lived within a few miles of the downtown Seattle core for almost 30 years. In 1992, she decided to devote her life to animal rescue and a few months later, Whisker City was born. To fund her charity, she became an auctioneer so she could sell used items and raise money to rescue and re-home animals of all breeds. She attended Missouri Auction School, returned home and opened the very first woman-owned auction company in Seattle. 30 years ago, she was one of 4 women to attend the very first class that allowed women to become police officers
