Part of our eighth series of City Plates, "Points of Departure." This collection explores departure points for legendary journeys: prospectors seeking their fortunes, explorers setting out for new lands, and importers and exporters shipping vast quantities of goods.
Seattle The most dramatic growth spurt in Seattles history occurred during the Klondike Gold Rush of 1897. Advertising itself as the "Gateway to the Gold Fields," the Port of Seattle quickly became the primary supply and transport point for prospectors heading to the Yukon. Throughout the 20th century, Seattle grew in both population and prominence, hosting a worlds fair in 1962, and eventually serving as the incubator for now globally recognized companies like Amazon, Starbucks, and Boeing.
The City Plates measure 12 across. Key buildings are represented with persimmon icons, while rivers and public spaces are shown in blue and green.
