THE preface of books are generally written to give the author or compiler an opportunity to make to the public any remarks per­ taining to his publication which may, in a measure, tend to explain any discrepancies or. ambiguous portions of his book. This will be no exception to the rule. In compiling the present volume of the City Directory, the pub­ lishers have endeavored to get the matter as nearly accurate as it is possible to get a publication of its kind. Considerable difficulty has been experienced on account of the imperfect numbering of the buildings, and for this reason, in many cases, the numbers have been omitted. The list of secret and benevolent societies, city and county officials, the classified business directory, etc., will be found reliable, and of great convenience for handy reference. The present volume contains 2850 single names; the number of firms engaged in all classes of business is 474; the educational institutions—both public and private—number 11; and the city has in her corporate limits 37 secret and benevolent organizations. According to the returns of the last United States Census, the number of persons to a family is, on the Pacific Coast, 5.38. Estimating on this basis, the city has at present a total of 12,232 white population. The Chinese population is placed, after a care­ ful enumeration by our canvassers, at 400. These figures give a grand total of 12,632 inhabitants. Surely, a splendid showing. The ratio of increase for the past few years has been very great, especially, during the prosperous era proceeding the present year. 14 SEATTLE DIRECTORY. Placing the rate of increase for 1885 at fifteen per cent., Seattle will enjoy a population of no less than 14,526 by the first of Jan­ uary, 1886,—an estimate that, judging from the bright prospects of increasing trade and demand for manufactures, she will, undoubt­ edly, more than realize. It is to be hoped, that by the time the next volume of the Direc­ tory is published, the City Council will have passed an ordinance to the effect that the business houses and residences be properly numbered: it will greatly facilitate finding locations, and save much time and petty annoyance. A street directory, published on page 29, will be of some assistance in giving directions to each street. In conclusion, the publishers offer a word of thanks to the citi­ zens of Seattle, and especially to the business interests, for their liberal support. From the beginning of the canvass to the com­ pletion of the book, they have been courteously treated, for which they feel duly grateful. Seattle, December 1, 1884. PAST AND FUTURE IN recording the industrial progress of Seattle, it will not be neces­ sary to giye a full and minute detail of every class of events con­ nected with her history, much less will it be imperative to record events long anterior to the time when the arts of peace were prac­ ticed and fostered within her borders. We have much need to lay down this axiom before commencing a record of her growth and development from a mere village of a few straggling houses, in- habitated by a handful of the now old pioneers of Puget Sound. Like all Western cities, Seattle has her romantic history, and were we to pause in recording her growth to take notice of her natural and early surroundings, all suggesting that stupendous fraud over which poets have raved and the yellow covered litera­ ture of the day found its principal character—the noble red man— we might work up a very interesting sketch.
