OLYMPIA — Washington Gov. Chris Gregoire’s daughter Courtney, a Harvard-educated lawyer who serves as a top adviser to Sen. Maria Cantwell, is getting married.
The governor and her husband, Mike, announced Wednesday that their elder daughter will marry Scott Lindsay, a Washington, D.C., lawyer who grew up in Seattle, next summer.
The date and location for the wedding have not been decided, but will be in the state. The Gregoires’ home church, St. Michael Catholic Church, is in Olympia, and the Governor’s Mansion is another potential venue.
The couple announced their engagement Tuesday evening at the Gregoire cabin at Hayden Lake, Idaho, where the whole family, including younger daughter Michelle, have been vacationing.
“I wouldn’t necessarily call it an engagement dinner, but there was plenty of celebrating,” said spokeswoman Holly Armstrong.
The proud mother took a snapshot of the couple and provided it to the Associated Press.
“Mike and I are absolutely thrilled for Courtney and Scott and look forward to helping them make wedding plans,” the governor said. “This good news has added to the great time our family has had together this week.”
Courtney Gregoire, known as Court by the family, turned 28 on Tuesday. She met her 29-year-old fiance when both worked at the Washington, D.C., office of the Seattle-based Preston Gates law firm. Lindsay still works there, but Courtney Gregoire moved to Cantwell’s Senate staff in February. She is the senator’s legislative director and general counsel.
