Additional Details:
Proudly set on a hill facing West to Puget Sound, this noble Hostelry is so linked with early Seattle history that its place in the hearts and memories of Seattle is secure for all time. "A most palatial and elegant Hotel with the grandest scenery iin the West." Here Presidents, Dignatories and great ones from every corner of the Globe were honored guests. In those stirring early days of Gold Rushes, Pioneers and Empire Builders. And when the Seattle Spirit of progress decreed that this proud hill must be washed away the present New Washington was erected at practically the same location. As befits itsheritage the New Washington of today is still a popular center of the social, cultural and business growth of this great sea-born city. And loyal Alaskans, sons and daughters of the old "Sourdoughs" look upon the New Washington with the same feelings as did their forebears upon the old. Here sill lives on the Spirit of true Western Hospitality renowned in song and story, here still the traveller finds that traditional friendliness which the successors of the earlier hosts love to perpetuate.
