Von der hinteren Coverseite

From Seattle's near demise in the Battle of Seattle in 1856 to theWorld Trade Organization riots in 1999, thirty events that shaped the history of the Emerald City. Well known for its coffee and its cosmopolitan lifestyle, Seattle is a colorful port city with an equally colorful past. It Happened in Seattle tells the stories of intriguing people and events from the history of this Pacific Northwest city--from its humble founding in 1851 to the Seahawks' fateful appearance in Super Bowl XL. Read all about the Great Seattle Fire of 1889, which destroyed structures and enflamed the city's entrepreneurial spirit. Learn how Starbucks was founded humbly in 1971 and went on to brew big bucks. Discover Seattle's aviation, maritime, forestry, and computer innovations. And remember Seattle's 6,620-foot floating bridge that collapsed in 1990.
