Trump's G-pa was all over the PNW during the Alaskan Gold Rush and the silver mining rush, making money from running hotels of a certain type.
He did it in Seattle as weii.
I was surprised to discover that he was given credit for building a hotel even up in Monte Cristo,in the Cascade Mountains north of Everett, Wash. There's an old silver mining camp up in the Cascades that was a favorite drive when I was younger. Hardly a flat building there, the ground is steep and crooked. But some old stores are there, a few camp houses, and overgrown mine entrance.
I did not know about Grandpa Trump's history in the area until reading about his during dodo's first term. Found it rather surprising. But it does explain family characteristics.
