Seattle was established in 1851 at Alki Point and moved to Elliott Bay in 1852, quickly becoming a center for the timber industry and maritime trade. Known as the 'Queen City of the Pacific Northwest,' it served as the vital staging point for the Klondike Gold Rush and developed into a major hub for aviation and international commerce by the mid-20th century.
