Mercer Girls

In 1864 & 1866 two groups of ladies left the east coast to go to Seattle with a man named Asa Mercer. Seattle was a young town with few women. The male to female ration was 9-1. Mercer went east to enlist respectable, educated women to go west with him to become the mothers of Seattle. They became known as Seattle's Mercer Girls.
