Berton Waldron Huntoon was born in Sacramento, California, on February 6, 1870, moving with his family to Seattle, Washington, in 1883. By age sixteen, Huntoon had joined a volunteer fire brigade in his new hometown and was a member of Seattle's championship hose-laying team of 1886-1887. Huntoon began his engineering career at eighteen, working at the City Engineer's office in Seattle for two years, and then working for a year with the Fairhaven & Southern Railroad (later Great Northern Railway). After attending the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, New York, Huntoon returned to Washington state.
