Olive Julia Bell Stewart (born 1846) was the daughter of Seattle pioneers William Nathaniel Bell (1817-1887) and Sarah Ann (Peter) Bell (1819-1856), who arrived at Alki Beach in present-day West Seattle with the Denny party and other pioneers on the schooner Exact in 1851. The Bells, settling north of the future downtown area in what would become known as "Belltown," helped to establish the new "Town of Seattle." Olive Street is named in honor of Olive Bell Stewart, and Stewart Street after her husband, Joseph H. Stewart.
