- Arthur A. Denny (Wikipedia)
Arthur Armstrong Denny (June 20, 1822 – January 9, 1899) was an American politician and businessman who is regarded as one of the founders of Seattle, Washington. He founded the Denny Party, and was later the city’s wealthiest citizen. He was a 9-term member of the territorial legislature. Seattle’s former Denny Hill was named after him; it was flattened in a series of regrading projects and its former site is now known as the Denny Regrade. The city’s Denny Way, however, is named not after Arthur Denny, but after his younger brother David Denny.
