Seattle, WA - “The Emerald City”
Seattle’s history is long and diverse. Prior to the first European Settlers, Native American tribes called this area home. The city itself is named after Chief Si’ahl of the Duwamish and Suquamish tribes. Seattle was officially incorporated into King County in 1869. Seattle has a rich history in the timber industry and also served as a major transportation center during the Klondike gold rush. Post-World War II, Seattle rose to an economic boom with Boeing’s growing dominance in the commercial airliner industry. Seattle celebrated this rise in prosperity with a bid for the Century 21 expo, the 1962 World’s Fair. More recently, Seattle and her suburbs have become synonymous with many top players in the Tech industry. Microsoft, Amazon, T-Mobile, AT&T, just to name a few. Also, we can’t forget Starbucks’ influence on Seattle’s eclectic atmosphere and robust economy. The history of Seattle, her economic success and booming real estate market play a major role in the Pacific Northwest and stability of the region.
