Home > Klondike Gold Rush - Seattle Unit Park > Klondike Gold Rush - Seattle Unit National Historical Park

In 1897 news of a gold strike in the Canadian Yukon reached Seattle, triggering a stampede North to the Klondike Gold Fields. From 1897 to 1898, tens of thousands of people from across the United States and around the world descended upon Seattle"s commercial district. While in Seattle, the hopeful miners purchased millions of dollars of food, clothing, equipment, pack animals, and steamship tickets. The final outcome of this great stampede helped shape the Seattle we know today, bolstering the city"s reputation as the Queen City of the Pacific Northwest.
