Somewhat topical after my trip to Seattle are these series of special features called the Seattle Daily Times Centennial Stories, which are a compilation of past articles, catching a glimpse of the trials and tribulations that have shaped Seattle to what it is today – from the boom times of the Klondike gold rush and the post-WW2 formation of Boeing Co., to the bust times of the 1980s and the Vietnam war protests.
What you have is a progressive little city, tied as much to its native American and fishery heritage as it is to its state-of-the-art tech industries, where its citizens are as adept in front of a computer as they are hiking in the mountains. At least to me.
