Kolonya at Metropole: Seattle at Pilipinas
Nagkaugnayan ang Pilipinas at Estados Unidos pagkatapos ng pagsakop ng mga kapuluan dahil sa pagpanalo ng Estados Unidos sa Digmaang Espanyol-Amerikano noong 1898. Ang paglahok dito ng Estados Unidos ay ang pagpapatuloy ng paglaking pananakop nila sa ibayo ng Hilagang Amerika. Hindi nagtagal pagkatapos ng pagdating ng U.S. sa Pilipinas, nagumpisang ipaglaban ng Pilipino ang kanilang pagsasarili. Ang mga sundalong Amerikano na nagpasuko sa mga paghihimagsik ng mga Katutubong Amerikano, ang siya rin na nagpasuko sa mga Pilipino.
Ipinadala ang ilan sa mga sundalong taga-Washington State National Guard. Dahil lumalaki ang interes ng Estados Unidos sa Pasipiko, minilitariys ang Seattle at ang Rehiyong "Pacific Northwest." Nakapagpabuti sa Seattle ang benepisyo bilang isang mahalagang puwerto na nagpapadala ng gamit para sa hukbong Amerikano. Nakapagpabuti rin sa Seattle bilang isang tagapagtanggap ng mga gamit galing sa Pilipinas.
Maraming mga ala-ala na mapapanaw saanman sa lungsod ng Seattle, karamihan sa mga pinanggalingan na mga pangalan ng mga lugar na ito ay hindi madalas kinikilala. Sa Woodland Park, nakatayo ang dalawang kanyong pangkaragatan at isang tansong istatuwa para bigyan-galang ang mga sundalong namatay noong Digmaang Espanyol-Amerikano at noong "Philippine War." Ipinangalan sa mga kaparehong sundalo ang Volunteer Park na nasa lungsod ng Capitol Hill sa Seattle. Ang City Hall Park ngayon sa Pioneer Square, ay dating kinilalang "Fortson Square" para kay Kapitan George H. Fortson, isang opisyal ng Washington Infantry na pinatay sa Pilipinas. Pinangalan ang Admiral Way sa West Seattle mula kay Admiral Dewey, pinuno ng armadang pangkaragatan na sumalakay sa Maynila noong Digmaang Espanyol-Amerikano.
The Hiker Memorial statue in Woodland Park was erected in 1924 by veterans of the Spanish-American War.

Licerio Gerónimo e Imaya (August 27, 1855 – January 16, 1924) was a general of the Philippine Revolutionary Forces under Emilio Aguinaldo. He is remembered in Philippine–American War annals as the opposing general to Major General Henry Ware Lawton at the Battle of San Mateo on December 19, 1899, where Lawton lost his life along with 13 other Americans. Lawton had been previously credited with the capture of the Apache leader Geronimo. Licerio Geronimo possibly possessed Native American descent himself as the Spanish used to send Indios (Native Americans), Mestizos, and Criollos, from the Spanish-Americas to the Philippines during colonial times. Early yearsGerónimo was born in Sampaloc, Manila on August 27, 1855, to Graciano Geronimo, a native of Montalban, District of Morong, and Flaviana Imaya, a native of Gapan, Nueva Ecija. He was the eldest of six siblings. When he was nine, he lived with his grandfather in a farm in San Miguel de Mayumo, Bulacan. At 14, he joined his father in Montalban where he helped in farm chores. Due to poverty, Geronimo did not enjoy the benefits of formal education but he learned how to read and write with the help of a friend who taught him the alphabet. He married twice; his first marriage to Francisca Reyes ended with her death. His second wife was Cayetana Lincaoco of San Mateo, who bore him five children. He earned a living by farming, and by working as a boatman on the Marikina and Pasig rivers, transporting passengers to and from Manila. Philippine RevolutionGeronimo was recruited into the secret revolutionary society Katipunan by his godfather, Felix Umali, alguacil mayor of barrio Wawa, Montalban. A member of the Katipunan, Gerónimo was part of the rebel group that assaulted the Geronimo (Chiricahua Goyaałé 'One Who Yawns'; often spelled Goyathlay in English), (June 16, 1829–February 17, 1909) was a prominent Native American leader of the Chiricahua Apache who long warred against the encroachment of the white man on tribal lands. Geronimo was born near Turkey Creek, a tributary of the Gila River in what is now the state of New Mexico, then part of Mexico, but which his family considered Bedonkohe Apache hell(tori) land. Geronimo himself was a Bedonkohe Apache. He grew up to be a respected medicine man and, later, an accomplished warrior who fought frequently with Mexican troops. Mexican soldiers massacred his first wife and three children during a supposedly peaceful trading session in 1858, and as a result he hated all Mexicans for the rest of his life. Mexicans gave him the nickname of "Gerónimo". The reasons for this name are not known. Some believe that his Spanish enemies called out to Saint Jerome for assistance while attacking or in the midst of violent defeat. Others believe it was a transcription of the Spanish attempt to pronounce the name Goyaałé. Geronimo fought against ever-increasing numbers of both Mexican and United States troops and became famous for his daring exploits and numerous escapes from capture. At the last, these 38 men, women and children evaded 5000 U.S. troops (one fourth of the army at the time) and the Mexican army for a year. His forces became the last major force of independent Indian warriors who refused to acknowledge the United States Government in the American West. This came to an end on September 4, 1886, when Geronimo surrendered to United States Army General Nelson A. Miles at Skeleton Canyon, Arizona. Geronimo was sent as a prisoner to Fort Pickens, Florida. In 1894 he was moved to Fort Sill, Oklahoma. In his old age Geronimo became something of a celebrity. He appeared at fairs, including the 1904 World's Fair in St. Louis, and selling souvenirs and photographs of himself . |
