Yes but Seattle is not the way you say his name his name it is actual pronounced sea-elth

When I was in grade school (I was born in 1952), a Seattle historian told us there was no proper English way to pronounce or spell many of the native words. Sealth is a slicked down version of the native word which could best be written "Sea UHH ul". The way he said it was very guttural and throaty... almost 3 separate sounds.
