Griffin College, also referred to as Griffin Business College, was founded as a family-owned business college in Seattle, Washington in 1909. In 1986, after the death of Eugene Griffin, son of the founder, Griffin was sold to Phillips Colleges, a national chain of 92 private two-year and four-year schools that specialized in buying established private schools, or proprietary schools, as they are called. They added campuses in Bellevue and Tacoma.
Aggressive expansion of the school coincided with accreditation renewal issues and eventually the college closed in 1993.
