Welcome to the Newto News for March of 2024. My name is Zack Cockfield, and my team and I created Newtomedia as a way for visitors or new residents to get information about a city. Each month we bring together resources that will update you on the history, amenities, culture, future opportunities and all other things inside a city that make it unique. We also hope to be a resource for connecting you with people and businesses that can help you live a better life. If you find our efforts useful, please click on the links to get more information!

Seattle, Washington, named after Chief Sealth of the Suquamish and Duwamish tribes, has a rich history dating back to the 1850s when it was founded as a logging town. The city quickly grew as a hub for the timber industry and later for shipping and trade due to its strategic location on the Puget Sound. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Seattle experienced a significant economic boom with the Klondike Gold Rush and the rise of industries like aerospace, technology, and coffee. The city became known for its innovation and progressive culture, which led to the birth of companies like Boeing, Microsoft, and Starbucks. Seattle also played a significant role in the civil rights movement, with activists fighting for equal rights and environmental protection. Today, Seattle continues to thrive as a vibrant and diverse city known for its stunning natural landscapes, thriving arts scene, and booming tech industry.
