The 1888 Seattle Housing Gamble

One of the largest, best located, and most desirable tracts ever placed upon the market, consisting of 60 choice residence lots, is located in the growing direction of the city, and only 17 minutes ride from the Post Office. An unprecedented offer: five elegantly finished, modern design cottages, ranging in value from $700 to $1000 each, to be given away with the property. Every purchaser secures a lot, and 5 out of the whole number secure houses with the lots. The greatest building enterprise ever inaugurated in Seattle, affording to each purchaser the full value of the original investment, and a small fortune in every five of the whole number. The Jackson and Rainier Streets Addition is connected with the business center of Seattle by the Jackson Street Cable Railway. The road starts at the corner of Jackson and Second streets and runs up Jackson street to Lake Washington. The cars will run every 20 minutes, and in less than three months the service will be adjusted so as to pass there every 10 minutes. The fare is only 5 cents. The title is guaranteed to be absolutely perfect, and every offer is to be carried out precisely as advertised or money will be refunded.
