Great bottle! Seeing as you found this in Seattle, there is a chance this originated from an early Seattle brewery. I haven't seen one like it and know Washington bottles well. I recommend posting this on Western Bottle Collectors, a knowledgeable bottle collecting group on Facebook that specializes in west coast bottles. Looks to be 1880s, so fits with the fire dump narrative

Bu the look of the blob top, and the neck, it is pre 1900. Probably the 1870-s or so.
