Understand
After the Great Fire of 1889, Seattle's business district moved northward from Pioneer Square, just in time for the Klondike Gold Rush of 1897 to cement Seattle as the commercial center of the region. The geography of downtown transformed, as several of the hills around downtown were regraded, sluiced into Elliott Bay to create flat land for Seattle's explosive growth in the early 1900s. Most level ground in central Seattle today was once either a hillside or a tidal flat.
