We went on the underground tour of Seattle. I learned that Seattle burned down twice. There was a fight between Seattle and Tacoma. Tacoma had a printing press that kicked Seattle off the maps.
When the gold rush happened, people would scam the miners. The people sold gophers, the theory was the gophers would dig under ground and pop up with a nugget gold. They also scammed the miners with sled dogs. They bought the dogs for $2,500. When they got on the boa,t someone blew a silent dog whistle. Then the dogs swam back to shore and they were sold again.
