拓荒者廣場(Pioneer Square),西雅圖
每座城市都有段關於「大火」的過往。西元64年,尼錄燒掉羅馬城,燒掉人心;1666年9月2日,倫敦的派皮斯( Samuel Pepys )在日記中記載 “Jane comes and tells me that she hears
that above 300 houses have been burned down to-night by the fire we saw, and
that it is now burning down all Fish-street, by London Bridge.” 而一場百年前的西雅圖大火,正是這故事的起點。
