Notes

[change |change source]
  1. ↑November 13, 1851 is often referred to as the unofficial date of Seattle's founding, when much of theDenny Party arrived atAlki Point. However, the first White settlers to inhabit the area had already arrived in September, which included some members of the Denny clan. The modern city did not take shape until the following spring after much of the party abandoned Alki to move acrossthe bay. The name "Seattle" didn't become official until May 23, 1853.
