On 1938, a plot to destroy "Miye Maru," a Japanese ship moored in Elliott Bay, was averted. A Canadian named Rolfe Forsyth plotted to sink the vessel in protest of Japanese aggression in China. His co-conspirator had a change of heart at the last minute and warned police of the plot. Upon searching the waters of Elliot Bay, police recovered Rolfe’s bomb—a suitcase containing 369 sticks of dynamite, blasting caps and a rudimentary timing device. Fortunately, the suitcase had leaked causing the timing device to jam and stopping the timer just two minutes before it was set to explode at 1:33 am. Police also discovered Rolfe’s body—he had drowned trying to plant the bomb.

On 1917, a fire destroyed the Grand Opera House in downtown Seattle. One firefighter perished in the blaze and nine others were injured when the roof collapsed, destroying much of the interior. Eventually the blaze was extinguished, although not before the building was entirely gutted. The building stood an empty skeleton for several years before being sold and remodeled into a parking garage. The Cherry Street Garage still stands today on Cherry Street, just off Third Avenue.

On 1865, the Washington Territory Legislature incorporated the City of Seattle. Seattle’s charter dictated that five elected trustees would run the fledgling city’s government and hire city officials like marshal, magistrate and town clerk. Less than two years later, the citizens petitioned disincorprate (likely due to a controversial municipal tax instated by the trustees). In 1869, Seattle reincorporated, this time with an elected mayor and town council in place of the board of trustees.

On 1937, a West Seattle streetcar full of commuters went off the rails, killing two people and injuring 59. At 7:30 am as the streetcar traveled down Avalon Way, the air brakes malfunctioned causing the streetcar to build up speed as it cruised downhill. Unable to make a hairpin turn at the bottom of the hill, it careened off the tracks slamming into a concrete barrier and a guard rail. Railway management was found negligent and the driver was dismissed.

The sixth transcontinental line to cross the U.S., the Great Northern ended in Madison, Washington (about 75 miles east of Seattle, in the Cascade Mountains). Travelers could now journey 1,816 miles from Seattle to St. Paul, Minnesota, and from there reach the East Coast via other railway lines.
