Talk:Yesler Terrace, Seattle

Minoru Yamasaki
Cut (by me) from article: "A famous person to come from Yesler Terrace is Minoru Yamasaki, the architect of the Rainier Tower and Pacific Science Center in Seattle, and the World Trade Center in New York."

Minoru Yamasaki was born in 1912, so cannot be from Yesler Terrace, which was built in 1941. Several places on the web say that Minoru Yamasaki was raised on "Yesler Hill"; that's a term no longer in use; it referred to the southern part of First Hill and included the area of the Yesler Terrace project, but also extended farther north. There is probably something here worth getting into the article, especially if someone can find out precisely where Yamasaki grew up and whether it is part of what was razed to build Yesler Terrace. But it's not accurate to say he was from Yesler Terrace. -- Jmabel | Talk 06:43, 4 January 2006 (UTC)


 * I see a way to get this back in there, will do. -- Jmabel | Talk 06:50, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

Proposed merge of Yesler Hillclimb into Yesler Terrace, Seattle
Part of the same redevelopment, and the hillclimb on its own does not have significant and sustained coverage beyond its opening.  Sounder Bruce  23:02, 7 February 2023 (UTC)


 * I'd support a merge. Valereee (talk) 00:08, 8 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Support. It's a smallish outdoor staircase, hardly needs a separate article because it exists. Reywas92Talk 06:15, 8 February 2023 (UTC)
