History and Growth of Seattle, Washington
You’d be surprised how Seattle went from a tiny
1850s settlement named “New York–Alki” to a bustling port city—logging led its
early industry, and coal later powered growth before the Klondike Gold Rush triggered
a real boom. Tracks coming in from Everett in the 1890s and the rush to Alaska
helped Seattle grow fast; its population jumped from just thousands to tens of
thousands by 1900. After World War II, Boeing added momentum, and more
recently, Microsoft, Amazon, and a wave of tech companies turned the region
into a global innovation hub. Through cycles of bust and boom, the city rebuilt
stronger each time, and you’ll feel that spirit when you look around today.
Gas Works Park in Seattle, WA
Walking into Gas Works Park is like entering a
playground built around the rusted skeleton of Seattle’s industrial past, a
quirky mix of grassy mounds, playground structures, and metal relics telling a
story of transformation. The old gas-plant towers have been cleaned up and
turned into striking pieces of urban art, with grassy hills inviting you to
run, kite, or picnic at the top. You won’t find the lake open for swimming or
fishing—but you’ll find a sundial, quirky sculptures, and a sweeping view of
the city skyline, all wrapped in that steampunk-meets-playground vibe. It’s a
place where gritty history meets green space, turning a scarred site into a
beloved gathering spot that looks creative, thoughtful, and just plain fun.
Uber Took Bigger Cut of Fares to Grow Profits, Study Says — With Seattle Hit Hardest
Hearing that Uber has been taking a bigger share of each ride’s cost can leave a bad taste, especially since Seattle seems to be hit the hardest. When you book a trip, it’s easy to see prices going up, but your driver may be taking home less than before. The company says it’s about pricing changes and new ways of matching riders and drivers, but it ends up feeling like drivers are losing out while Uber gains more. That kind of change can make you think twice about how fair the system really is. You’re just trying to get where you need to go without paying too much, and you’d like to know your driver is being paid fairly for the work they do.
