Everett, Washington is credited as Willie Gordon's hometown by some newspapers of the day, although it is believed that he was stationed at nearby Anacortes, Washington, while serving in the United States Navy during the mid-1920s to early 1930s. He had an amateur career in the Everett, Washington area in 1925, as confirmed by the Everett Daily Herald newspaper.
Another photo of Gordon, with Frankie Grandetta, can be found in the April 7, 1927 Spokane Spokesman-Review.
