"The year was 1899 and it would turn out to be a historic time in the Pacific Northwest and a pivotal time for Seattle to become the dominant city in the Puget Sound basin. Gold had been discovered in Alaska and hundreds of thousands of people were streaming into the Northwest on their way to the gold fields. The city was still recovering from the devastating fire of 1889 that had charred the major portion of the downtown core. Everything had been constructed from the abundant forests surrounding the struggling seaport and most of it including the interiors of those few buildings made of stone had been destroyed. Even those stood stark in the smoldering ashes, gutted of any material that was combustible. In this time of recovery, much like the Phoenix of legend, a new city emerged from the ashes. Stone and steel replaced plank and timber, men and women with little or nothing but initiative became financial and political leaders in this time of renewal." T. A. Perry
