Over a century old, the Stimson-Green Mansion, located in Seattle’s First Hill neighborhood, stands as a memorial to Seattle’s thriving lumber, trading and transport industries of the late 19th to early 20th century as well as the significant individuals that built and inhabited the house. Commissioned in 1899 by Charles D. Stimson, a prominent timber and real estate businessman, along with his wife Harriet, the Mansion was designed by the Spokane architect Kirtland Cutter. Dominating the corner of Seneca Street and Minor Avenue, the Mansion was built to impress and could easily hold its own next to First Hill’s most opulent homes of the period. Completed in 1901, the Mansion reflected the architect’s aptitude for incorporating several different architectural styles – considered “eclectic architecture” – employing English Tudor Revival, Moorish, Neoclassical, Romanesque, Gothic, and Renaissance to create something truly impressive. Eclectic architecture allowed a person to experience architectural history simply by moving from room to room instead of travelling abroad to tour castles and grand estates of Europe. The Mansion’s exterior half-timber construction, wooden gables and pointed arches are stylistically English Tudor Revival, but the interior features many different architectural styles. At the time, it took $30,000 to build the 14,000 square-foot house and another $16,000 to furnish and decorate the interior Today, the Stimson-Green Mansion retains much of its original interior décor including exquisite hand-painted details, fine woodwork, and imported tiles. The Mansion, once home to two of Seattle’s most influential families, the Stimsons and the Greens, is an important landmark that is recognized locally and nationally. The property was listed on the State and National Registers in 1976, and gained City of Seattle landmark status in 1977. It’s one of Seattle’s few remaining grand residential structures of the period, and one of the city’s most impressive examples of eclectic architecture.

The Kingdome was a multi-purpose stadium in Seattle's SoDo neighborhood. Owned and operated by King County, the Kingdome opened in 1976 and was best known as the home stadium of the Seattle Seahawks of the National Football League, the Seattle Mariners of Major League Baseball, and the Seattle SuperSonics of the National Basketball Association . The stadium served as both the home outdoor and indoor venue for the Seattle Sounders of the North American Soccer League and hosted numerous amateur sporting events, concerts, and other events. The Kingdome measured 660 feet wide from its inside walls.The idea of constructing a covered stadium for a major league football and/or baseball team was first proposed to Seattle officials in 1959. Voters rejected separate measures to approve public funding for such a stadium in 1960 and 1966, but the outcome was different in 1968; King County voters approved the issue of US$40 million in municipal bonds to construct the stadium. Construction began in 1972 and the stadium opened in 1976 as the home stadium of the Sounders and Seahawks. The Mariners moved in the following year, and the SuperSonics moved in the next year, only to move back to the Seattle Center Coliseum in 1985. The stadium hosted several major sports events, including the Soccer Bowl in August 1976, the Pro Bowl in January 1977, the Major League Baseball All-Star Game in July 1979, the NBA All-Star Game in 1987, and the NCAA Final Four in 1984, 1989, and 1995.
