    King County King County Was Organized in 1852 from Lewis County

    King County King County was organized in 1852 from Lewis County. It was originally named after William R. King, Vice President under Franklin Pierce; it was renamed, in 1986, after civil rights leader Martin Luther King. The first settlements in the county were the donation land claims of Luther Collins, Henry Van Asselt, and Jacob Maple in September of 1851 in the Duwamish Valley area of present day Seattle. This settlement was followed in November by one led by David Denny and Leander Terry at Alki Pont. The next year the Denny-Terry settlers moved to a better location for loading lumber on the east side of Elliott Bay and named the settlement Seattle after the friendly chief of the Duwamish Indians. The next year Henry Yesler set up the first steam sawmill on Puget Sound. King County and Seattle grew and prospered during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries with the expansion of the shipping and lumber industries. It boomed again during and after World War II as an aircraft production and shipbuilding center. Today the county is the Pacific Northwest region’s major manufacturing and shipping center. Bounded by: Snohomish County (N), Chelan and Kittitas counties (E), Pierce County (S), and Puget Sound and Kitsap County (W).

  • The Wild Cascades

    The Wild Cascades

    THE WILD CASCADES August-September 1969 2 THE WILD CASCADES TRAMWAYS AND THE NORTH CASCADES BY KIMBLE S. ERDMAIM Editor's Foreword Dr. Erdman, N3C member and a professor of biology at Slippery Rock State College in Pennsylvania, has traveled extensively in the North Cas­ cades and has worked there as a summer fire lookout. Here he expresses his personal opinions about tramways in the North Cascades, a subject that will be much-studied and discussed in years ahead. Because many aspects of the matter are still wide-open, we are pleased to present his thoughtful remarks, even though they do not at every point reflect cur­ rent N3C policies, and may at some points conflict with policies now being evolved. Following his article is a commentary. Let the debate continue. The establishment of the North Cascades National Park provides a fine opportunity to explore new approaches for handling high tourist visitation. Since most of the park is a wilder­ ness of the most rugged nature, conventional development of roads for visitor access would impair both the beauty and isolation of the region. Hopefully even the existing Stehekin Valley road will be maintained at its present primitive state. The Park Service has suggested that the major means of transportation should be public conveniences of some sort. This would help eliminate the automobile congestion and noise so typical of Yosemite. The National Park Service has also tentatively proposed the development of three tram­ ways or similar facilities to take visitors to high-altitude vantage points. The reaction of con­ servationists to such proposals has generally been negative, not just in regards to the specific sites, but to the tramway concept in general.
