18 Aug Help the Klondike Gold Rush Historical Park…win?

Did you know that Seattle has its very own National Park? The Klondike Gold Rush National Historical Museum, located at 2nd Ave S & S Jackson Street, is part of the Klondike Gold Rush National Historical Park. The Seattle unit, located in the Pioneer Square Historic District, commemorates the origin for many of the stampeders who headed off to the Klondike region.

Coca-Cola will grant $100,000 to the most popular park state or national park in the United States!   Vote for the park (every day through August 31) at http://www.livepositively.com/#/americasparks – just type the name into the search key and keep voting! In addition to choosing an overall winner, Coca-Cola will donate $1 to National Parks Foundation for every vote that is cast.

To be quite honest — this park needs a lot of love (love=votes). This is mostly because the park in the #1 slot is Bear Head Lake Park with 972,051 votes.

And I almost don’t want to tell you how many votes the Klondike National Park has. But I will — only because I would be annoyed if I were reading this and someone did that to me. So to be upfront, the total votes for the Klondike Historical Park are somewhere near or around, but definitely not more than … 38. And that includes the vote that I just cast.

So, maybe there’s a slight chance that we won’t win. But at least there’s that $1 donation to NPF for every vote cast, so you should definitely go vote, if only for that reason.

Happy Voting!
