Tukwila — Thumbnail History (historylink.org) The City of Tukwila, located 10 miles south of Seattle, is near the original confluence of the Black and White rivers. These rivers, before development altered their courses, merged to form the Duwamish River. The Duwamish flowed north into Elliott Bay, below the hills of Seattle. The Duwamish Indians inhabited this valley for many centuries before white settlers arrived in the 1850s. In 1851, the Collins party staked a claim near the mouth of the Duwamish River. Around the same time, the Denny Party settled at Alki Point, to the west of the Collins’ claim. Soon after, other settlers started claiming land further south into the valley.

The origins of 60-Hz as a power frequency (ieeexplore.ieee.org) In 1891, Westinghouse engineers in Pittsburgh selected 60 Hz as their new power frequency. That same year, AEG engineers in Berlin selected 50 Hz as their new power frequency. Although much has happened since 1891, these two frequencies remain the principal power frequencies in use worldwide. Many people continue to be affected by the decisions on frequency standards made so very long ago. The author discusses the origins of 60 Hz as the power frequency now used in the USA. The author covers the work of Charles Scott, Benjamin Lamme and L.B. Stillwell of Westinghouse, the experimental period of 1821 to 1880, the light period from 1880 to 1890, the power and period of 1890 to 1925, and the period of systems interconnection from 1925 to 1990. Particular emphasis is given to the development of frequency for lighting systems and of frequency development in the USA, Europe and Japan.
