The lure of gold was powerful when the SS Portland arrived in Seattle on July 17, 1897 with its cargo of gold from the Klondike. Thousands joined the rush, leaving home and loved ones behind. Many took great risks, quitting paying jobs, hoping to improve their situation in life. All jumped headlong into an uncertain future.
Some sought riches by selling goods and services to the stampeders. There were plenty of prospects and opportunities, schemes and dreams, to go around. Exposure Time: 0.010 s (1/101)
