General Files - Neighborhoods

Some of the neighborhood names used in indexing are listed here. The neighborhoods used in indexing geographic location of documents in the General Files are neighborhood names currently in use. The neighborhood boundaries were developed by the Seattle Clerk's Office and are used in indexing legislation, photographs, and other documents. Note that many street names have changed since 1890. Also included is a sample from Anderson's New Guide Map of the City of Seattle and Environs, published in 1890 and part of the Municipal Archives holdings. Researchers will need to visit the Archives to see the entire map.
