The seven hills of Seattle is an unofficial designation〔City of Seattle 2011 press release: "Seating walls on the plaza highlight the seven hills of Seattle and orient the viewer to the highest points of our city."〕〔Nelson 1990: "We can only imagine how Chief Sealth would view his Duwamish homeland today-the seven hills of Seattle bulldozed to fill tidelands where his people once gathered food..."〕 of several hills that historians claim the city of Seattle was built on and around.〔 The name comes from the similar tradition in several other cities, most notably Rome and Constantinople. ==The seven hills== There is no firm consensus on precisely which hills constitute the seven hills of Seattle. Walt Crowley considered the "main candidates" to be:〔Crowley 2003〕 * First Hill * Yesler Hill – presently in the First Hill neighborhood * Renton Hill — located to the east of First Hill (previously called Second Hill or – both these names have passed out of common usage)〔 Sophie Frye Bass, When Seattle Was a Village, 1947〕 * Denny Hill〔also noted as one of the seven hills by Williams 1989〕 – regraded, now called the Denny Regrade * Capitol Hill〔also noted as one of the seven hills by Johnston 2008〕 * Queen Anne Hill * Beacon Hill The hills above were associated with seven boulders in the City of Seattle's Seven Hills Park.〔Seattle Parks and Recreation, 2010〕〔''Seattle Times'' 2009〕 Other hills sometimes said to be among the "seven hills of Seattle" include: *West Seattle – originally incorporated as a separate city, and not annexed by Seattle until 1907〔Wilma 2005〕 * Magnolia * Crown Hill – not annexed until 1954〔 *Mount Baker〔Ferriss 1953: "the 'floating bridge' leading over Lake Washington to the unique city portal that pierces Mt.
