Thirteen years after American settlers founded the city named
for him, Chief Seattle died in a nearby village of his people.

Born sometime around 1790, Seattle (Seathl) was a chief of the Duwamish and Suquamish tribes who lived around the Pacific
Coast bay that is today called Puget Sound.

The copper statue shows Seattle with his right hand extended
as if in greeting. The statue stands atop a stone base that was
designed to serve as a fountain, although the fountain has been
turned off and on over the years.

The statue was sculpted by James Wehn and was unveiled
November 13, 1912.
