The effects of the Klondike Gold Rush, of 1897, had a great impact on the States. A vast population of the country was swept west by the prospect of striking rich in a fortune of gold. This m migration of eager prospectors vying to be the first to reach the mines of Alaskan frontier were by most accounts in no means in a very rational state of mind in their great hurry. This had an extremely, profitable direct effect upon Seattle. Seattle, being the natural point for Alaskan travelers to reach, as well as a terminal point for three great transcontinental lines: The Northern Pacific, Great Northern and Canadian Pacific, the latter being through Seattle and International railroad. It connected indirectly with Chicago, Burlington, and Quincy, the Denver, and Union Pacific and all other railroads operating the Untied States, or Canada. In fact, if you were coming west en route to the Klondike, you would ask for a through ticket to Seattle, landing you in the “Gate Way” for a ride up to the Yukon. Also, factoring in that, Seattle was a head quarter for nine of the ten of all the steamboat companies going to Alaska. But, Seattle wasn’t going to rely on that fact alone, with all other cities keeping a vicious eye on the city, trying to lure its droves of people to their own cities. To ensure that didn’t happen, Seattle had a vast variety of advertisements to entice people to the fast rising city, while it filled its coffers with the revenue being made. This economic boom would leave Seattle in a great deal of wealth, giving it an illustrious history and longevity. Giving us what we now know the city of Seattle.
