| Seattle
was first settled by five pioneer families from Illinois at Alki Point
at the south end of Elliott Bay in 1851. They moved in 1852 to the
eastern shore of the bay and laid out a town in 1853. It was named
Seattle after a friendly Suquamish Indian chief (Seattle is only an
approximation of his name). A city of steep hills, Seattle lies in
western Washington between two bodies of water—Puget Sound on
the west and Lake Washington on the east. Its fine landlocked harbor
has made Seattle one of the major ports in the United States. |
