World's First Service Station
Seattle, WA
On this Seattle spot in the spring of 1907, John McLean of the Standard Oil Company of California erected an odd but ingenious contraption to dispense gasoline and oil directly to motorists — what many claim as the world's first service station. It was a modest response to a revolutionary problem: the automobile was arriving, and drivers needed fuel on demand. From this improvised beginning grew an entire roadside industry.

Homer M. Hadley
Seattle, WA
Engineer Homer M. Hadley designed a series of innovative concrete bridges across Washington State, pioneering some of the earliest American uses of the European hollow-box, or cellular, method of concrete construction. His work helped prove that reinforced concrete could span economically where steel had dominated, influencing bridge design across the region. Seattle's floating bridge span later bore his name in recognition of that legacy.
