James S. Ditty

James Sanderson Ditty (1880–1962) was a photo-engraver in the Seattle area for 30 years and an "adventurous entrepreneur" and "hard-nosed" businessman who was involved in the developing of Bellevue, Washington. He is best known today as a businessman whose ideas contributed to the development of a city across the lake from Seattle.

He was involved in the Beaux Arts Village, building a house there. As an engraver he was a member of the Seattle Cartoonists' Club and did the engraving for two of their vanity cartoon books of wealthy Seattleites and Washington state-congressmen.
