Freetinyimages.com photo of the day

This is a photo of the Chief Seattle statue taken sometime in the 70's. Since then the statue has been refurbished and it doesn't have the green oxidation patina color anymore, but it IS in the same location it has been for over 100 years. (the intersection of Fifth Avenue, Denny Way, and Cedar Street).
I have driven past this statue to many times to count, I knew it existed and what it looked like, but until today I had no idea where it actually was.

Chief Seattle was known for his good relations with the European settlers, if it weren't for him one of the most influential settlers, Doc Maynard would have been assassinated. so in return, with the urging of Doc Maynard and other settlers, the City was named after the Chief.
