Episode description
Seattle the pioneer town was home to logging, coal, fishing… and lots of men. In 1864 Asa Mercer had a plan to “civilize” this rough and tumble Seattle – bring over boatloads of women! In this episode we learn about one of these women, Lizzie Ordway, her journey, and her influence on the city. We also explore Seattle’s complicated image as a pioneer town and rapidly shifting definitions of what it means to be an early settler.
