9100-00. Annexed Cities

 Record Group
Identifier: 9100-00
Seattle annexed eight small municipalities between 1905 and 1910, nearly doubling the City's physical size. Annexations by law were initiated by the annexee and had to be approved by the Seattle City Council. The need for inexpensive and accessible electric power and water system services were the primary motivations for the annexation movements.
