On May 4, 1905, Seattle Steel Co. begins manufacturing steel products in Humphrey (later Youngstown and West Seattle). The founder is William Pigott (1860-1929), who also founded Pacific Car and Foundry Co. (PACCAR). The mill employs 140 men with a monthly payroll of $10,000.

Note that the founder of Seattle Steel was also the founder of Pacific Car and Foundry Co, in Seattle, (somewhat to the south of the SODO area) at one time a major manufacturer of rail cars.
