Randy Revelle (April 26, 1941) was the third King County Executive, having served from his election in November 1981 until January 1, 1986. Revelle received some national attention when shortly after his election the Seattle Post Intelligencer disclosed that Revelle suffered from bipolar disorder. Revelle made no secret of his condition and, he said later, “friends, colleagues and the media” knew about it.
Later, he served as senior vice president of the Washington State Hospital Association, where he pushed for a mental health law in 2007.
