There is something very bizarre in the history of Seattle. It is related to the Great Seattle Fire of 1889, followed by an enormous construction boom of 1889-90. This construction "on steroids" is something I would like to talk about. The numbers are really off the charts, so bear with me.

The Great Fire itself will not be the main focus of this article. The time to talk about this fiery fire destroying 120 acres of the City of Seattle, and killing exactly ZERO people will come at a later day.

Let us establish the time frame for this investigation. The disaster struck on 6.6.1889. Some of the documented facts presented below were published on 1.1.1891. Basically, we have 18 months to work with.

Next, let's try to figure out the amount of damage sustained by Seattle. This is where we are going to run in into the first controversy. Let's see who reports what:
25 blocks destroyed - Wikipedia
50 blocks destroyed - Seattle PI (image below)
60 blocks destroyed - HistoryLink
64 blocks destroyed - Seattle Historical Sites
