Seattle’s Growth From Sawmill Town to Inland Sea City
Seattle rises from a 20 year sawmill town to a bustling port city with brick blocks, warehouses, and a growing skyline. The piece notes DeFuca’s early voyage, the inland sea’s vastness, and the transformation aided by rail lines, a union depot, and a booming lumber trade. It highlights the 2000 square mile Sound, major steamship Minnesota cargo, and civic projects including a new Carnegie-funded stone library.
