Talk:Seven hills of Seattle

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Seven Hills Mythology Around the World

I have added a few brief remarks with some links to give context to the '7 hills' notion. If anyone knows if the tradition is decidedly descended from Rome, that should be added, but as I neither know that nor really expect it to be true, I only mentioned Rome as a prominent and historically important example of another 7-hill city. 63.226.230.76 07:45, 12 November 2007 (UTC) Ventifact

[edit] Modern-day identity of Yesler Hill

I'm not crazy about the Yesler Hill link to Yesler Terrace, which is an article on a housing development. I wish that we had a Yesler Hill article. I think it deserves an identity, especially considering the interesting origins of the term skid row related to this feature. Ref [1]

Yesler Hill appears to have been a historical name for part of what is now regarded as First Hill, which is also the neighbourhood Yesler Terrace is considered to be in. I've changed the redirect to reflect this. Eldang 01:28, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Correct list of hills?

Personally, I think that Yesler Hill is redundant and probably just yet another name for First Hill, whereas Magnolia seems like the probable seventh hill seeing as it was both built and within Seattle city limits by 1900 (unlike Crown Hill or West Seattle). However, I'm following the source because HistoryLink is generally very reliable, and I've already spent an amount of time on this page that is disproportionate to its importance....
