History

It included all the land area of the island with the exception of the 70 acre (280,000 m²) business district. Calkins built a resort, the Calkins Hotel, in 1889 in East Seattle. This resort led to the development of a ferry dock (Calkins landing), which in turn led to a growing population. Just over a month later, on August 9, the business district incorporated as the Town of Mercer Island, wholly surrounded by the City. In the 1930s, George Lightfoot began campaigning for a bridge to Seattle.
