The Seattle, Lake Shore and Eastern Railway (SLS&E) was a railroad founded in 1885 to connect Seattle with the timber, mining, and agricultural regions of Washington Territory. Although financial difficulties prevented completion of its original transcontinental vision, the railway played a vital role in the growth of Seattle and the development of the Pacific Northwest.
