My last day working at the Hyatt Olive 8, a guest wanted to convert his suite into a birthday oasis with over 100 helium bal- loons, four huge birthday banners, retrieve flowers from the florist and have a personal server and chef, all in two hours. I wasn’t sure I could pull it together, but somehow I did. High stress, but invigorating at the same time! Q: What's one of the Eastside’s best-kept secrets? The Bellevue Botanical Garden! It’s a huge 53-acre oasis in the middle of urban life. If you need to take a break from the gridlock but don’t have time to get out of town, it is a great place to relax, meditate and reconnect with nature. From November to January, the Garden d’Lights boasts over a half-million lights during the holiday season. Q: What is your favorite Northwest tradition? My favorite Northwest tradition is definitely enjoying the abundance of craft beers made locally in Seattle and the surround- ing areas. The Northwest is known for its micro-breweries and more pop up each year. Some of the more notable brewer- ies include Elysian, Georgetown, Fremont, Redhook, Mac and Jacks and Pyramid breweries.

  • Chief Seattle's Speech Historylink.Org Essay 1427
    Chief Seattle's Speech HistoryLink.org Essay 1427 By Walt Crowley, June 28, 1999 In addition to his namesake city, Chief Seattle (178?-1866) is best remembered for a speech given, according to pioneer Dr. Henry Smith, on the occasion of an 1854 visit to Seattle of Isaac Stevens (1818-1862). Stevens was governor and Commissioner of Indian Affairs of Washington Territory. He visited in January and again in March 1854. Chief Seattle's speech went unnoted in the written record until October 29, 1887, when the Seattle Sunday Starpublished a text reconstructed from admittedly incomplete notes by Dr. Smith. Smith rendered his memory of Chief Seattle's speech in the rather ornate (to modern ears) English of Victorian oratory. Chief Seattle would have given the speech in the Lushootseed language, which then would have been translated into Chinook Indian trade language, and then into English. Smith's text is a necessarily filtered version of the speech and was certainly embellished by him. Smith's reconstruction lacks corroboration in the written record, but it is far from implausible. Seattle was well respected among his own people and settlers as a powerful and eloquent orator in his native tongue. It is likely that he was present to meet Governor Stevens in January 1854. Stevens' assistant George Gibbs noted his presence during the March 11, 1854 meeting. Also, there are several accounts in pioneer records of Chief Seattle giving speeches to large crowds. Frederick James Grant included Smith's text in his 1891 History of Seattle, Washington and Clarence B. Bagley reprinted a slightly altered version in his 1929 History of King County, Washington(Vol.

His name is revered by Northwest Indians and respected by non-Indians who know his story. And yet, he remains, legally, a convicted murderer.
