CCGS Scavenger Hunt Day 3: Elisha Peyre Ferry (1825 – 1895)

This scavenger hunt focuses on the life and family of the two-term 10th Governor of the Washington Territory and the first Governor of the State of Washington. Governor Ferry served a single term, from 1889 to 1893, and during his time in office oversaw the reconstruction of the fire-ravaged cities of Seattle, Ellensburg, and Spokane Falls. Ferry County in NE Washington was posthumously named after him in 1899.
