The city of Seattle owes a debt to Cleveland. President Cleveland that is, for if he did not think Seattle was ripe for revolt after the Panic of 1893, Discovery Park would not be. Instead it would be high end real estate. But lucky for Seattle, President Cleveland ordered a garrison watch over the city. Then in 1896, the site was selected for an artillery battery intended to defend Seattle from Naval attack.
Discovery Park is one of, if not my favorite place in Seattle. It is very large and very different from the city. It is a sanctuary and real treasure. It is the one place in the city that I actually miss. These photos come mostly from 2000-2001.
Enjoy
