The Great Fire In Seattle


The Great Seattle fire of June 6th 1889 was started by a glue pot, the fire burned 29 city blocks wooden buildings and brick bouldings. They were almost all the bussiness district. And more fires happened after that one. And I think if that fire didnt happened Seattle would have more antiques and more old buildings that people that are interested in history would have more stuff to see and to take pictures of. But Seattle still has old buildings that survive The Great Fire but the buildings are not the same as they used to be because they remodel them and put some new stuff because the fire burnded something from those buildings. And I been in a building that was burned by The Great Fire on June 6th 1889, and the building looks pretty nice from the inside and outside. It still has the desings of that old time and inside of that building there is pictures of The Great Fire and how Seattle looked when it was settle and it has a lot of more pictures of Seattle in the old times.
And Seattle is still a pretty beautiful place after that fire and its a peaceful place to come and chill or walk around in the summer time because in winter its pretty cold to walk around.

Early history of Seattle

Seattle was inhabited since the end of the last glacial period 8,0000 B.C - 10,000 years ago. Seattle was actually founded by Denny Party in 1851 and around the same time David Swinson "Doc" Maynard began settling the land immediately south of Denny's. Then Hernry Yesler brought the first steam sawmill to the region, he chose a location on the waterfront where Maynard and Denny's plats met. Seattle was incorporated as a town the 14Th of January 1865. And by that time the population was approximately 350 and 1,000 people. Amd that was the begging of Seattle and I will talk about what Seattle pass threw and how seattle is doing right now. There's still terrible traffic on the freeways, air is poluted. The city, or its setting, is still physically beautiful. Who wouldn't like to live in Seattle?

What I know about Washington State History

What I know about Washington. Well I dont know that much, I know it was settle a long time ago and I'm doing a research about it so by the time that I'm done with the research I will know exacly when it was settle and who settled it. And there is always something that represents the state for example California is represented by the brown bear so Washington is represented by Mount Rainier and a green flag of the president Washington. Washington was settle by indians and then the white people came and took over so now they own washington. And they did their own laws and they took the indians and african americans as slaves. Well that's what I think it happened and a guess too. But like I said I will know all that by the time I fished with this research and reading a book that I'm reading abouts Washington. So will tell you more about it when I finish my research and when I finish reading my book.
