Seattle History
Seattle grew from Indigenous villages around Elliott Bay into a port city shaped by timber, shipping, fire, rebuilding, labor and repeated changes to its terrain.
Why go
A little history makes Pioneer Square, Yesler Way and the waterfront more legible. Early settlement moved from Alki to a protected harbor, while fires, regrading and later commercial growth changed the streets and elevations visitors now encounter downtown. Those changes remain visible between the historic core and shore.
