More than 150 years ago, when Seattle was known as Dzidzilalich by local tribes, the area boasted abundant native plants like ocean spray, shore pine, and salmonberry along its shoreline. Today, these plants are scarce in the city's urban core, but the waterfront transformation promises to change that. Pioneer Square streets linking to Elliott Bay will soon feature a "living memorial through the stories of plants," highlighting how local Salish people utilized these species.
