The story of the settlement, growth, and development of Seattle’s founding neighborhood.

The Alki History Project was driven by the idea that the better we understand our history, the better we understand our future choices. Alki is an example of how land resources and land use of yesterday can influence tomorrow’s uses. It is also an example of how wealth can be used to create or squander opportunities. We are all stewards of the future, whether or not we recognize it today.
