The Struggle for Kamilchie: A Seattle Land Hustle

Kamilchie is the terminus of the Puget Sound & Gray’s Harbor Railroad and the natural outlet for the entire Gray’s Harbor country. It is the end of the Tacoma-Kamilchie steamer route, upon which the large and comfortable steamer Multnomah makes daily round trips. It is a point that is just now receiving so much attention from the Seattle Chamber of Commerce. Kamilchie’s plat is now placed upon the market for the first time, and advantage should be taken of this opportunity of purchasing a good business or residence lot at low figures. The prices will be very low to start with, but will be increased upon the sale of every fifty lots, thus enabling those who purchase first to make a speedy profit upon their investment. The principal streets are now being graded, and every inducement will be offered to home-seekers. Kamilchie has daily mails and steamers and daily rail connection with the Gray’s Harbor cities. Business lots on graded streets are $150, and good residence lots are $100, with a first payment of $30 and the balance at $10 per month.
