Overview

The Occidental Hotel #3 should not be confused with the Occidental Building (or Occidental Block), erected in 1890, located on a flat-iron piece of land at Front (later 1st Avenue), James Street and Yesler Way. The Occidental Block would not be used as a hotel until 1897, and the return of prosperity to Seattle brought by the Klondike Gold Rush. After 1897, the hotel in Occidental Block was known as the "Seattle Hotel."
