Where Seattleites Lived in 1859

Success is where preparation and opportunity meet, said someone, and we at The SunBreak want you to succeed. Thus, this map showing the names and locations of Seattle’s residents in 1859. It’s based on the recollections of an old-timer named Dillis B. Ward–newly available to the non-matriculated masses thanks to JStor’s recent grudging liberation of public domain content. So now, if you fall into a wormhole at 1st and Cherry, don’t say we didn’t tell you where the nearest 1859 hotel is. (Click the pins to see who lived there.)
