Waxa loo bixiyey magaca jasiiradda Pritchard markii Alfred J. Pritchard uu yeeshay ee 1900 kana sameeyay dhismeyaal guryo ah taasoo la gaadhsiiyey buundo-cageedka dul marta biyo-fadhiisinka kala qaybiya jasiiradda iyo xeebtadhul-waynaha harada. Meesha waxa lagu daray Magaaladda Seattle 1907. Toban sano kadib, yaraanshaha biyaha Lake Washington oo ay ugu wacan tahay furista Gacanka Markabka Lake Washington ayaa faaruqiyey biyo-fadhiisinka, ku xidhaya jasiirada dhulwaynaha. Xiitaa kahor intaan harada la dhimin, Pritchard, oo ah shirkadda nashqadaha dhulka Olmsted Brothers, iyo dad badan oo meesha deggeniba waxay ku doodeen inay tahay in Magaaladu ku yeelato beer iyo xeeb Jasiiradda Pritchard. 1930dii, Magaaladu waxay la wareegtay dhulkii meeshii hore biyo-fadhiisinka u ahayd waxayna ka dhistay Xeebta Jasiiradda Pritchard iyadoo kaalmo ka helaysa WPA.
