Birth and rebirth of Emerald City, Seattle is the Star(gate)link to Mars
Burned down in the Great Fire of 1889, the original core of Seattle, now known as Pioneer Square, emerged from the ashes to become a vibrant commercial area.The City of Seattle Pioneer Square Preservation District was created in 1970, although the original nomination was presented to the Seattle City Council in 1969 and rejected. The district, with slightly different boundaries, was also listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1970. Since then, there have been two subsequent boundary expansions, one in 1978 and one in 1988. All of the buildings in the district date from after the Great Fire of June 6, 1889, which reduced roughly 30 blocks or more of the original City of Seattle to ashes.Buildings within the district date from four successive periods of significance. The first period of significance spans from right after the Great Fire of June 6, 1889 to 1899, during which Seattle’s commercial district, known as the “burnt district,” was rebuilt.Within a month of the fire, eighty-eight buildings were either projected or already underway. The Seattle newspapers of 1889 took real delight in recounting the rebuilding of Seattle.“There is a feature of the new life in Seattle which will not grow old and that is the work of building. The scene in the burnt district is gradually changing for the better and excavations and foundations for many new buildings are already under way… New announcements of proposed buildings continue to be made and they are always met with interest and pleasure by the general public."“Rise Like a Phoenix” and “wings of the phoenix” were two typical references to Seattle’s rebirth.
