Seattle, WA Factoid
Head for the hills! There's gold! Seattle's first economic boomtime came in 1897, when a steamship bearing two tons of gold from the Yukon sailed into port. Within weeks, thousands of treasure-seekers from across the country stampeded into Seattle to make their way to the Klondike in search of their fortunes.
