The storm had passed, the clouds had parted, and the sunset over Elliot Bay was sensational. Golden hues glistened across the water. The Duwamish Indians first lived around Elliot Bay at the end of the last glaciers about 10,000 years ago. In 1792, English explorer George Vancouver – the namesake for Vancouver, British Columbia – conducted the first exploration of what is now Seattle. Sixty years slipped by before the area was settled. Since then, Seattle has grown to encircle the bay. Consider taking a cruise or boat tour near dusk to enjoy a magnificent sunset.
