David Denny
David Thomas Denny (March 17, 1832 – November 25, 1903) was a member of the
Denny Party, who are generally collectively credited as the founders of
Seattle, Washington, United States. Though he ultimately underwent
bankruptcy, he was a significant contributor to the shape of the city.
Roger Sale, in his book ''Seattle, Past to Present'', described him as having been "the pioneer to turn to if one had a plan that would be 'good for Seattle', and one needed a respectable tone and a willing investor."
