About Buchans:

Quote
George and Lizzy Buchan brought their two children, George B. and Elizabeth, to the United States in April 1902. George, a baker, had decided to leave Scotland and relocate his family. He worked as a baker in Lowell, MA, before heading west and finally settling in North Seattle in 1906. He found work in the not-so-nearby Buckley as a baker, commuting to work by train and returning home on the weekends. Eventually, he saved enough to start his own retail bakery in downtown Seattle around 1919
