Seattle was named for Chief Sealth (Seattle) He was the chief of the Suquamish and Duwamish tribes and lived form 1786-1866. He signed the Treaty of Port Elliott in 1855, guaranteeing a reservation for his people in what became the state of Washington.
Chief Seattle often helped the white settlers in the area. Thankful settlers named their town Seattle after him.
He became king and commander when he was 20.
I guess you could say the Indians discovered Seattle! When settlers came in the 1800s, they started a small settlement off Alki Point. This eventually became seattle, and they decided to name it Seattle after the local Indian chief, Sealth, who had been really friendly to the settlers.
Mike McGinn, Mayor of Seattle announced the appointment of Interim Chief, John Diaz to the position of Chief on June 24, 2010.

He didn't become the chief, he became a chief - and not a very high-ranking one. He became a "shirt-wearer" or respected war leader in 1865, when he was 20 to 25 years old (we do not know his precise year of birth). This put him on equal rank with many other Lacota war leaders.He was also the camp chief of a small number of families but he never became a widely-accepted chief like Gall. He was given temporary charge of many of the Lakota warriors at the Little Bighorn battle.Although he came to be viewed as a native hero, he was not a powerful chief.
