William Aitken (September 9, 1889 – July 22, 1961) was a Scottish-American architect. Born in Glasgow, he attended school in Scotland before emigrating to Vancouver, Canada, before 1911. He crossed into the United States around 1915 and became a dock engineer for the Pacific Coast Company in Seattle. In 1919, he received his architecture license and began private practice, designing various buildings across western Washington from the 1920s to the early 1960s. Among his major works are Sick's Stadium, the host stadium of the Seattle Rainiers, and Yesler Terrace, Seattle's first public housing development, which was designed in collaboration with various other architects. Aitken retired in 1960 but continued working on some smaller projects, including the Captain's Table Restaurant for restaurateur Ivar Haglund. Some forty-five years after first immigrating to the United States, he received his American citizenship in 1961, shortly before his death of cancer in July of that year.
