A private and tranquil estate, only 45 minutes from Bellevue. The homeowner is the great granddaughter of Seattle businessman, William Perkins. In 1865, Perkins, (along with A.A. Denny, L.V. Wykoff and John Ross) began raising capital to fund a wagon roadway to stretch from North Bend over Snoqualmie Pass, to connect Western and Eastern Washington. Perkins was eventually awarded the contract for roadwork, where he and his men built the first 25 miles of the most difficult section of the road. Over time, The Yellowstone Trail Road spanned Seattle to Boston, an endeavor achieved by grassroots community groups. This achievement opened the Pacific Northwest to automobile travel including a main route to the famed Yellowstone National Park from both the east and west coasts.
