1. Seattle Ice Arena Marker
This plaque marks the site of the former Seattle Ice Arena, built in 1915 and home to the Seattle Metropolitans of the Pacific Coast Hockey Association. In March of 1917, the Metropolitans became the first US team to win the Stanley Cup after a 3-1 series win over the Montreal Canadiens. This historic victory was cause for great celebration in Seattle and across the nation, just weeks before the US formally entered World War I. The Metropolitans hosted Montreal again two years later for the 1919 Stanley Cup Finals, which, due to an outbreak of infuenza, was the only series in its history to end in a draw.
