The Great Seattle Lot-and-Cottage Lottery of 1888

Jackson and Rainier Streets Addition is one of the largest, best-located, and most desirable tracts ever placed upon the market, consisting of 110 choice residence lots, located in the growing direction of the city, and only 17 minutes ride from the Post Office. Ten elegantly finished, modern design cottages, ranging in value from $1,000 to $800 each, are to be given away with the property. Every purchaser secures a lot, and ten out of the whole number secure houses with the lots. The Jackson Street Cable Railway starts at the corner of Jackson and Second streets and runs up Jackson street to Lake Washington, passing within a few hundred feet of the Addition. The drawing for lots and houses will take place under the supervision of three prominent citizens. One of the number will act as judge, and two as clerks. The judge will publicly announce the names of purchasers as they draw cards from the boxes to match names with lot numbers. Remember that there are no blanks; each purchaser secures a lot, and ten out of the whole number secure a house and lot worth from $1,000 to $800.
