They show us how the cityΓÇÖs psyche and its physical and social landscapeΓÇöits aspirationsΓÇöare shaped. The steady push and pull of community organizers and civic leaders, and the everyday needs of the people who call this place home, give Seattle its remarkable spirit, just as they have since its first cornerstones were pounded into place on the shores of Elliott Bay.
