Best Answer

Henry Yesler became the very first millionaire of Washington State and founded the first water system. He is considered one of the "ten-men" who shaped Seattle. After living a life as a carpenter in Ohio, Yesler decided to go look for gold in California. Yesler heard about the Puget Sound and decided to create the very first steam-powered sawmill. He provided many jobs for the Native Americans which were mostly helping with the sawmill and were very good friends with them, especially the Duwamish tribe.
