Hagen A Thesis in the Field of History for a Degree of Master of Liberal Arts in Extension Studies Harvard University November 2017 Copyright 2017 Paul B. Hagen Abstract Founded in 1851, Seattle was little more than a rough-and-tumble frontier town at the onset of the Civil War. However, by 1880 the young community had developed into a small, but prosperous city. Not only did the population grow immensely during this time, but the character of the town also changed. By 1880 Seattle was no longer just another western logging town, but rather a civilized metropolitan center. Although the rapid development of Seattle is widely accepted, the connection between it and the Civil War has not been reported. Historical data suggest that the Civil War did influence the development of Seattle. The Civil War caused Seattle’s population to grow through recruitment of unemployed war widows and orphans. These recruits brought New England culture to Seattle, which served as a civilizing force. The Civil War also led to policies that helped Seattle develop in other ways.

Fire and Gold Build Seattle A Senior Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for Graduation Undergraduate History Program of the University of Washington-Tacoma By Jeff Blair The University of Washington-Tacoma May 2014 Thesis Advisor: Dr. Mike Allen, History and American Studies 1 Abstract The final decade of the 19 th century established Seattle as the preeminent city in the Pacific Northwest. Prodigious changes resulting from the Fire of 1889 paved the way for Seattle to take full advantage of the Klondike Gold Rush eight years later. This work details the impact that each of these events had on Seattle and concludes that the compound effects of two events of happenstance created the foundation for the Seattle we know today. 2 Introduction Seattle was founded in of 1852. The area showed great promise. It sat at the edge of a deep-water sheltered bay that was ideal for shipping. The pine and cypress forest that surrounded the settlement promised a strong future in timber, and the waters of Puget Sound were a rich fishery.

The name of each relevant essay is listed as well as the abstract, number, and link to the full essay. This supplement also aids HistoryLink.org in identifying general or specific topics for which more essays are needed or would be helpful in the Washington state History classroom. In addition, as a part of this exercise, HistoryLink.org staff assigned appropriate key words to selected essays to match those used in this textbook. A set of HistoryLink Elementary essays was added to the HistoryLink encyclopedia in 2014. (http://www.historylink.org/Index.cfm?DisplayPage=education/elementary- educators.cfm.)

There was the Figure 8 Roller Coaster, the Shoot the Chutes water ride, and a beautiful, hand-carved carousel. The park was built out over the water on a wooden pier that was supported by huge cement pilings that were driven into the sand.

  • Louisa Boren Address: 5950 Delridge Way SW Current Use: Interim Site
    B Boren Name: Louisa Boren Address: 5950 Delridge Way SW Current Use: Interim site Louisa Boren, perhaps more than any other Seattle founder, sym- bolizes the pioneer ideals of courage, selflessness, and ingenuity. A teacher in Illinois, at the age of 24 she headed west by wagon train with her mother and stepfather. After arriving at the point they named Alki in 1851, she made the Puget Sound country her home until her death on August 31, 1916. Boren married fellow pioneer David Denny and raised a family in the fledgling settlement. Throughout her life, Louisa Boren Denny showed an unusual interest in studying the “unfeminine” subjects of chemistry, philosophy, botany, and astronomy. She is remembered for her kindness to neighbors and her sympathy for newly-arrived Chinese workers. She also worked hard for the cause of women’s suffrage in Washington Territory. The site of Louisa Boren Junior High School is not far from where the Denny party landed. In the early 1960s, the West Seattle communi- ty needed a junior high school because of overcrowding at local elemen- tary and high schools. In September 1963, Boren opened its doors to over 800 students in grades 6–9. Constructed at a cost of over $2,000,000, the school had 40 teaching stations. A special guest at the dedication of the new school was Victor Denny, grandson of Louisa Boren, who presented a portrait of his grandmother. The portrait is now in the Seattle School District Archives. In the winter of 1964 or 1965, the first principal, Robert Nelson, Boren, ca.
