On Sunday, March 22, 1778, Captain James Cook, in search of the Northwest Passage, reached Cape Flattery on the northwest tip of the Olympic Peninsula and established British claims to the region. Captain Cook’s stories of the abundance of sea otters start the first "fur rush" of trappers and traders to the Pacific Northwest.
