Who was Seattle Washington named after?

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

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.

, South American, Indian-Australian, Indonesian, Caribbean, and Antarctic. Subduction produces volcanism when subducted basaltic oceanic crust melts at 700 km or more in the mantle and the magma rises because of density differences to be erupted in volcanoes creating volcanic arcs in either the ocean, like Japan and the
