European Settlers of Puget Sound
When Europeans first explored the area of what is now Seattle, they encountered members of the Nuu-chah-nulth (Nootka), Suquamish, Duwamish, Coast Salish, Makah, Quinault, and Chinook peoples, all of whom occasionally warred... but were generally peaceful toward the newcomers. "Seattle - History". Encyclopedia Britannica, 2021, https://www.britannica.com/place/Seattle-Washington/History. “Settlers arrived—mostly wayward souls and eccentrics who had meandered off the Oregon Trail” (Guterson 18) -
