S01E03 Seattle 24

Set against the backdrop of Chief Seattle Days, which commemorate the Native American leader after whom the city is named, this episode explores the connection between Seattle's history and its vibrant present. A tugboat pulling timber toward a lumberyard at the Port of Everett serves as a nod to the city's industrial roots, while the impressive $4 billion Amazon campus now takes up 19% of the prime office space in Seattle. Aerial views also showcase the evolution of Starbucks, tracing its journey from a humble shop in Pike Place Market to its sprawling headquarters at the Port of Seattle.
