Aurthur Denny (born 1822) traveled with a group of settlers in 1851 to Alki Point and became recognized as the founding settlers in Seattle.
Throughout his time in the area he made many contributions to the development of Seattle, specifically in regard to politics. He was a key player in the campaign to separate "the north of Columbia" area from the rest of the Oregon Territory, and in the relations with the native people, and even with women's rights.
Because of this political involvement, his voice was a influential tool that shaped the area into what it is today.
