The Klondike gold rush occurred when, on 16 August 1896, rich gold deposits were found in Bonanza (Rabbit) Creek, a tributary of the Klondike River. This sparked the Klondike goldrush of 1897-98. News of the discovery reached the United States in July, 1897, and within a month thousands of people were leaving their homes and jobs and pouring into the north. Over the next six months, approximately 100,000 gold-seekers set off for the Yukon: only 30,000 completed the trip.

The Klondike Gold Rush significantly transformed Seattle into a major commercial hub, as it served as the primary supply and transportation center for prospectors heading to the Yukon. The influx of wealth and population during the late 1890s spurred rapid urban development, leading to the construction of infrastructure, businesses, and cultural institutions. This economic boom laid the groundwork for Seattle's future growth and diversification, ultimately shaping its identity as a key West Coast city. The legacy of the Gold Rush continues to influence Seattle's economy and culture to this day.
The Gold Rush was mostly focused on two areas of California: the Northern California gold fields and the Sierra Nevada gold fields. It started when gold was discovered at Sutter's mill in Coloma - which lies on the edge of what became the Sierra Nevada gold fields. The Sierra Nevada gold fields stretched from several miles north of Feather River to several miles south of Mariposa, CA. A smaller portion of the gold seekers concentrated in the Northern Califonia gold fields which lay in the present-day Siskiyou, Shasta and Trinity Counties. Gold was also discovered in Southern California but on a much smaller scale. The first discovery of gold in the mountains north of present-day Los Angeles had been in 1842, six years before the discovery of gold at Sutter's Mill. However these deposits and later discoveries in Southern California mountains, attracted little notice and were not really part of the gold rush.
