Update; info added
Seattle was officially incorporated in 1889, but had been a town since 1851, when a group of pioneers from [[Illinois]] settled West Seattle, a peninsula within the current city limits to the west. From about 1960 until about 2000, the population remained relatively static, just under 600,000. However, the population increased into the suburbs north toward [[Everett]], south toward [[Seatac]] and [[Tacoma]] and east (across [[Lake Washington]]) to [[Mercer Island]], [[Kirkland]], [[Redmond]], [[Bellevue]] and [[Issaquah]]. As fuel prices have increased and zoning has allowed more growth, Seattle has grown about 40,000 in the last 6 years.
