CaptionBetween 1900 and 1905, Seattle's population more than doubled. Counting Ballard and other neighboring towns, the population stood at around 185, 000. In 1905, eight years after the first gold arrived from the Klondike, local businesses did more than $20 million of trade with Alaska and expected this to continue to grow.

This photo looks toward Elliott Bay from Queen Anne Hill with First Avenue North running up the center and Aloha Street crossing in the foreground. Several of the hill's typical mansions are shown and the Denny Hotel is visible in the right background.
