CO MS Pi CD o SQ PIONEER PLACE _ Pioneer Place is an old historic landmark. Here the first settlers had their shops and saw mills, their homes being all nearby. From Pioneer Place radiate many of the oldest streets of the city : Cherry and James Streets, Yesler Way and First and Occidental Avenues. One of the principal features of Pioneer Place is the totem pole on the triangular grass plot. ctj cu aco RAILROAD AVENUE This great artery of commerce extends for miles along the waterfront, It is covered with a network of tracks leading to piers and warehouses and communicating with the main lines of the eight transcontinental systems making Seattle a terminus. FIRST AVENUE First Avenue was in early days the only business street of the city, and it is still one of the principal avenues of trade. It parallels the harbor front through the center of the city, and continues for miles to its outskirts, both north and south. S3 -»< co _ cu » >- •afi PI O < en >>

The building at the junc­ tion of the two streets is the American Bank and Empire Building. At the right of the picture and further down Second Avenue is the 42-story L. C. Smith Building. SECOND AVENUE AND MT. RAINIER. Mt. Rainier is fifty miles from Seattle, yet the atmosphere at times is so clear and the mountain is seen so dis­ tinctly that it almost seems as if a few minutes walk would enable one to reach it. This view was taken from the roof garden of the Hotel Washington. FOURTH AVENUE, AT UNION'STREET But a few years ago this location was a section of meadows, dotted with homes and garden plots. Now it is a busy business center with its intersecting streets constantly filled with traffic! Four of the most modern office build­ ings of Seattle—the White, Henry, Stuart and at the right the Cobb building are shown in the view. The tower of the 42-story L. C. Smith Building can be dimly seen in the background. O C0+'

H o^ bo CU P< •'- co ctf ,d WESTLAKE BOULEVARD AND FOURTH AVENUE One of the busiest corners in Seattle is the junction of Westlake Boulevard, Fourth Avenue and Pike Street. A never-ending stream of traffic passes back and forth in all directions. A few years back, this whole section was covered with a dense forest of Douglas Fir. A SECTION OF THE WATERFRONT With sky-scrapers and other imposing structures lining the streets upon the terraced hills forming the background, the approach to the City by water is most pleasing and attractive. THE MINNESOTA The Minnesota is the largest freight and passenger steamer sailing from Pacific ports and the largest steamer in the world flying the American flag. She is engaged in commerce between Seattle and the Orient. Each single cargo brought into Seattle aggregates several millions of dollars. 1 \

WORKS OF THE SEATTLE CONSTRUCTION AND DRY DOCK COMPANY The view shows the water front of this great industrial plant in the heart of Seattle, which covers twenty-seven acres. The product covers a wide range: Battle-ships, sub-marines and other classes of steamships, dry-docks, steel work and timber for heavy buildings, etc., and more than two thousand hands are employed. The U. S. S. Nebraska was built at the yards of this company. FISHERMAN'S DOCK, SALMON BAY This view shows the salmon and halibut fleet moored at the Public Fisherman's Dock opposite Ballard in Salmon Bay. It is taken just inside the government lock in the Washington Ship Canal. Upon the lowering of Lake Washington it will become a fresh water harbor. SOUTH PIERS ONE AND TWO, PORT OF SEATTLE These piers are located at the foot of Stacy and Lander Streets on the East Waterway. They are each 750 feet long and 90 feet wide. The slips between are 850x215. A four-story concrete warehouse is being constructed near the end of the slip. Cost of construction $1,200,000. Occupied by the American-Hawaiian Steamship Company. THE COLMAN DOCK The erection of this great model passenger and freight pier, with the overhead walk from Second Avenue, spanning Railroad Avenue, marked a new era in development of convenient facilities for an immense number of people—passengers who daily throng the water front—from Sound ports, and summer homes. ,:•:•

THE NEW STEAMSHIP TACOMA of the Inland Navigation Seattle-Tacoma fleet, is the fastest single propeller steamer in the world. She was built Dy the Seattle Dry Dock and Construction Company in 1913, and makes the run regularly between the two cities. SEA GULLS UPON THE TIDE FLATS Daily during the winter months thousands of sea gulls gather upon the tide flats which extend from Elliott Bay to South Seattle, enlivening what is otherwise a cheerless scene at the recession of the tides. Both here and along the docks of the City they may be seen in flocks, acting as the water-front scavengers. iijiji !1

CENTRAL PIER NO. I, PORT OF SEATTLE A public pier on Railroad Avenue at the foot of Bell Street having 1000 feet of deep sea frontage. A five-story concrete cold storage warehouse is being erected upon the acre reserved between the pier and the street. The pier and warehouse are to be connected with the retail district by a viaduct over the railroad tracks. The latest and most improved freight handling machinery has been installed in this pier. Complete cost of project $1,000,000. y FRINK BOULEVARD SERPENTINE The most unique feature of the boulevard system is the horse-shoe curve of Frink Boulevard in Colman Park. In making the descent from a hill top to the lake shore in a very short distance, the boulevard is in the form of a double horse-shoe, the picture above being taken from the outer loop, the inner one being shown completely. INTERLAKEN BRIDGE One of the most beautiful residence sections of the city is in Interlaken, lying between Lakes Washington and Union. It is traversed by winding boulevards connecting many natural parks. The varying views of mountain and lake which may be glimpsed from hundreds of different points are absolutely unsurpassed. FRINK BOULEVARDS?

.

There are thirty-seven improved and unimproved parks in Greater Seattle today, comprising 1803 acres, and thirty miles of boulevards. The cost to the people has been $5,693,693,56, besides which many valuable tracts have been donated by patriotic citizens. The favorable topography, beautiful scenery in all directions, and the loyal support of the people have enabled the Park Board to construct a park and boulevard system of surpassing scope and grandeur. a as g en

MT. BAKER PARK AND LAKE WASHINGTON BOULEVARD The section of the boulevard which skirts the shore of Lake Washington for several miles is regarded by many as the most beautiful. The view is to the eastward with the waters of the lake in the foreground, backed by the Cascade Mountains, with Mt. Rainier to the south and Mt. Baker to the north. RUSTIC BRIDGE. INTERLAKEN BOULEVARD The boulevard system of Seattle has been wonderfully built, wonderfully planned. The road, like a mountain trail, winds along the sides of hills, skirts the edges of deep valleys, crosses canyons over rustic bridges, through dense primeval forests, along lake shores, commanding varied and resplendent views of the broad waters of Puget Sound, the serrated Olympics, the snow-clad Cascades and lofty Mt. Rainier. THE LAKE WASHINGTON BOULEVARD Seattle lies between Lake Washington on the east and Puget Sound on the west. The lake is thirty miles lone- arid is skirted by the boulevard along most of its western shore. This view is taken near Mt. Baker Park and shows Mt. Rainier in all its majesty. I

LAKEVIEW BOULEVARD Lakeview Boulevard has been literally carved out of the side of an immense hill rising many hundreds of feet above Lake Union. A view of the entire'lake and the sections surrounding it, of Queene Anne Hill on the opposite shore, of portions of the Sound and the Olympic Mountains may be seen in a drive along its length. ~":s^Ht.

THE ALKI BEACH BATHING AND RECREATION PAVILION The new Alki Beach Bathing and Recreation Pavilion immediately became immensely popular. While the bathing season covers only June, July, August and September, the fine marine view and beach promenade make a visit at any season well worth while. ••

THE PLAYGROUND AND WADING POOL IN WOODLAND PARK There are fourteen tennis courts, similar to the one shown, in Woodland Park. In addition the Park contains many base-ball diamonds, see-saws, steel gymnasium apparatus, in fact everything possible to make children happy and keep them healthy. tTHE LINCOLN PLAYGROUND Many of the playgrounds are located in proximity to school buildings and throughout the year are the scenes of many interesting sports and pageants. Some idea of the popularity of the playgrounds may be gained from the Fark Board statistics which give an attendance of over 800,000 children in a year THE PLAYGROUND IN KINNEAR PARK The activities at many of the playgrounds are under the organization of the children themselves. Mayors, councils and peace officers are chosen by them. They organize carnivals, celebrate the important holidays, compete in sports, and see to the good order and cleanliness of their grounds. •^ PI 50 •" .^ 13 6 3 co r 3 fee t befor e w,d an d hic h duc e

It is famed for its giant trees, its deep canyons, its mosses, its ferns and its trout streams. SCHMITZ PARK Schmitz Park is a wonderful natural park in West Seattle. Here one may travel for miles through the virgin forest, under immense firs two and three hundred feet high. I

WOODLAND PARK As one corner of it appears on a summer day. Within its great area one may find the amusement which satisfies the whim of the moment—rest under the beautiful trees, a visit to the menagerie, a vigorous game of tennis, or a stroll through the dense woods. VOLUNTEER PARK FROM THE TOWER Volunteer Park is a conventional city park laid out with beautiful walks, gardens and resting places One of its teatures is the great reservoir from which a large part of the city is supplied with water. From the too of the tower a great portion of the city may be seen. f BOAT LANDING, LESCHI PARK Leschi Park, named after one of the Indian chiefs of the locality, is a small picturesque park bordering upon Lake Washington at Yesler Way. It is reached by the Yesler Way cable cars and is a favorite starting point for excursionists. Many steamboats are engaged in the passenger and summer excursion business upon beautiful Lake Washington. THE ZOO AT WOODLAND PARK The Zoo buildings at Woodland Park are patterned after the most approved models, and afford the animals the greatest degree of comfort attainable in a life of confinement. Woodland Park is one of the most popular of the city parks. It is located in the northern part of the city, and is allowed to remain largely in its natural state.

^m^^BKiKttmmm THE OLYMPIC MOUNTAINS FROM KINNEAR PARK After a rainfall, when the winds come from the north, the atmosphere of the Sound Country is clear, crisp and free from mist and vapor. Then the Olympics stand forth to view, a rugged mountain wall against the western blue sky, crested with brilliant sun-lighted snow caps, in beauty and grandeur indescribable. THE RHODES CO.-ARCADE BUILDING H^ Hhe A,rca.d.e building, recently much beautified, has been largely invaded by the Rhodes Co which now i« ge Ctl ry g dS house in Seattle floor ^is a V"distinguishin? £ g featur,°° e on 0Second Avenue- A .ne w arcade of show windows lining thRhode^'es uo- ss street THE MacDOUGALL & SOUTHWICK DEPARTMENT STORE Upon the prominent southeast corner of Second Avenue and Pike Street is located this old popular dry goods concern. It has long been a favorite shopping place with the people and recent improved mercantile methods, with large capital at command, are keeping it in the front ranks of Seattle's greater stores and adding to its popularity THE FREDERICK & NELSON DEPARTMENT STORE—SECOND AVENUE BUILDING The atmosphere of refinement made possible by modern methods in the most noted department stores of New York, Philadelphia, Boston and Chicago is prevalent throughout this Seattle establishment. The window displays, with exhibits of the fashions and suggestions for the seasons are an educational factor, while within, the^broad aisles, elegant fixtures, thorough order and perfection of goods, makes shopping a delight. THE BON MARCHE The Bon Marche, occupying the block of buildings on Second Avenue, between Pike and Union Streets, is one of the largest department stores in America. Popular favor and the progressive policy of the management has made the Bon Marche an institution of great interest, not only to Seattle people, but to all visitors to the city.

THE SCHWAGER & NETTLETON MILL-A TYPICAL SEATTLE LUMBER PLANT 1 General view of plant. 2 Piers and yards for shipping by water. 3 Trackage for rail shipments. A large local demand is also supplied with lumber. Not alone right about Seattle are the lumber plants, but scattered here ana there throughout Puget Sound, hidden in surrounding bays and inlets, and elsewhere in Western Washington are little communities of which the lumber mill is the center and the life. More than 110,000 people are engaged in the lumber industry m Washington, and the State's product outranks that of any other in the Union THE FISHER FLOUR MILLS This great building is a prominent feature on the harbor line. Its establishment added to Seattle's manu­ facturing interests one of the largest and finest flour mills in the Northwest. Not only has its product gained a leading reputation locally, but a vast export trade has also been built up in the short time since the plant started. A HALIBUT STEAMER Fishing is one of the great industries of the Puget Sound country. The salmon pack alone exceeds $13,000,000 per annum. A large fleet of fine vessels is engaged in halibut and cod fishing. : : :B:::^::: ;;:„:,... &:;*!& ,: \ :./:v,::::-«,,, :^,m»*mV ^fM^ ,, iifc' •?& Safiiiif :-- ••.•.•.:»- *S* KSAivi *

SEATTLE HOMES 1 In the North Broadway District. 2 On Queen Anne Hill. 3 Upon Capitol Hill. 4 In Volunteer Park Dis­ trict. Besides showing the style of homes in the residence sections the views give something of the parking strips prevailing in many streets. In Seattle there are no congested or "slum " sections, homes of the humblest nature being in open and sun-lighted surroundings. VIEWS AT FORT LAWTON 1 Morning Drill. 2 Regimental Band. 3 Post Hospital, showing the sun parlor. 4 Officers' Homes. Fort Lawton is the U. S. Army Post and Regimental Headquarters, located on Magnolia Bluff, and over-looking Puget Sound, the reservation containing 600 acres. It was purchased with a fund raised by subscription in Seattle.

INDIAN CANOE RACE UPON PUGET SOUND Indian canoe races are among the favorite water sports about Puget Sound. At this trial of speed and endur- ence the five crews represented the Tulalip. Cowichan, Swinomish, Lummi and a British Columbian tribe. Very great speed is made at these races, and they suggest something of the sports of Indian days about the Sound. SALMON FISHERS, SAN JUAN ISLANDS 1 Gill-netters awaiting their "turn" to cast their nets where the salmon run. 2 " Brailing traps" on salmon banks. 3 Showing 25,000 " Sockeye " salmon on the floor of a cannery, ready for the canning process. 4 Store­ room with 200,000 cans of salmon ready to be cased and marketed. BIG TREES OF WASHINGTON 1 Shows an immense cedar, still standing. 2 A stump which was at one time used for a sheep-fold during the winter months. 3 A stump used as a summer home. Something of the majestic beauty and great size of the trees of the Washington forests may be seen by these specimens. 6 Lon t Observ a untain . *"gS Isl a ac k en me . Q o oiCQ Z < J en Z

GCH^ TO _ CU PI CU ^ O ii •Z H THE CASCADE DIVIDE This little view, looking south along the divide of the Cascade Range from a point near Glacier Peak, gives a glimpse of the tops of the mountains, extending as far as the eye can reach, and of their awful grandeur. SNOQUALMIE FALLS Snoqualmie Falls is one of the most beautiful and attractive scenic features in a state noted throughout the world for its magnificent scenery. It has a fall of 268 feet, and volumes of mist and spray, constantly arising and ever varying in fantastic form, are constantly illumined by gorgeous rainbows. The rushing waters of the Rapids below the Falls add greatly to the charm of the entire region. During one or two of the late summer months, the 1 snows of the mountains having been melted, the Falls have a diminished volume. MT. RAINIER FROM SEATTLE, LOOKING ACROSS LAKE WASHINGTON " Before white men knew of its existence it was to the native a thing of even greater mystery than it is to us; it was to him something supernatural, assuming in his mind, God-like powers and attributes, and he prayed to it to pity him and sustain him, with the help his primitive mind taught him his Gods could give. And ages before the Red Man the mountain was there, as serene and immovable as we see it today—a thing apart—yet a very crown on the head of the old, old world."- ELCOMANCHO. • • 50 >, PI -£ ^" "CO o O 03 ii VH CU cup^ CJ u X 03 oi o ft enf*! cu ft eo u eo 0) Poi Pi Ii CU g ft a pi s a'^-k PIW22§i 2 CU o3 a SBs>/a o| u-t eo P^ i *ri O rn d CO ft p «*TO O EH ft.

RAINIER NATIONAL PARK Indian Henry Hunting Ground, near Paradise Valley, was a favorite resort of the Klickitat Indians, and got its name from the fact. The saddle ponies are selected for their climbing abilities and are hardy mountaineers. Mt. Rainier is an isolated extinct volcano, and is the highest mountain in the United States, 14,526 feet. It is an inspiration to thousands of people, seen as it is from every side for hundreds of miles away. MT. RAINIER, FROM RICKSECKER POINT AND PARADISE VALLEY Ricksecker Point was so named in honor of the engineer under whose direction the Government Road was con­ structed. Paradise Valley derives its name from the great variety of beautiful wild flowers everywhere growing in great profusion through the valley, some of the mountain species thrusting their blossoms through perpetual snow

I Mirror Lake has an elevation of 7,000 feet above sea level. Protection from winds afforded by the surrounding mountains, the clear air and the snow-fed waters give to the surface of the lake a placidity which perfectly mirrors each passing cloud and every shade of color that clothes the mountain.

THE CAPITOL AT OLYMPIA Occupying a city block in the central part of Olympia stands this handsome pile of masonry, the Capitol. It is however, to be succeeded by a magnificent group of buildings, at the new Capitol Place, with the outlook cover­ ing Puget Sound and the distant Cascades. Olympia is attractively situated upon the Sound a few hours' trip, by either water or rail, from Seattle.

THE GALLANT OLD OREGON, GOING INTO COMMISSION, PUGET SOUND NAVY YARD "Not since the days of 'Old Ironsides' has any vessel so endeared herself to the American people as has the grand old battleship ' Oregon.' " " To her has been assigned the honor of leading the ships of all nations through the Panama Canal at its formal opening, and it is highly fitting that this distinction should be awarded by a grate­ ful nation to this grand old ship, the special pride of the Pacific Coast States, having been built m California, named for Oregon, and had her home port in Washington.'' •OSS cu cu oi cu ^••jr ;^ cos t o r t l long , , an d m e i n mpa n fee t Tw o n C o cret e n e ti : Q n d i t OS < > , i s 86 7 r s a t o >- ; i n co anal , tructi o ises , a siSn'u S eo IH > cu $ m $ PI ft < *-> , ft n u z
