| Caption | The Junior League of Seattle was formed in 1923 by a group of young women initially to support the Seattle Day Nursery. The Seattle League volunteered at Children's Orthopedic Hospital, Sacred Heart Orphanage, and other charities. They also established a convalescent home and orphanage at 4646 36th Avenue West. |
| Notes | Born in 1863, Ella McBride began working in the photography field in 1909 when she managed the Edward Curtis Studio. She opened her own studio in 1917 with Wayne Albee. Albee moved to San Diego in 1925, and McBride continued to operate a studio in various Seattle locations. In 1932 she partnered with Richard Anderson; they continued to work together until she retired in 1954 due to her failing eyesight. She died in 1965 at the age of 102.
