| Title | Crowds and canoes at the waterfront in Leschi Park, ca. 1911 |
| Photographer | Webster & Stevens |
| Date | ca. 1911 |
| Caption | Leschi Park, on the shore of Lake Washington, was a popular place for Seattle's city-dwellers to go for recreation. Many people caught a cable car at Pioneer Square and rode to the park along Yesler Way.
In this photo, taken at Leschi Park around 1911, some people sit or stroll. Others relax in their rented canoes. The men and women may seem formally dressed by late 20th century standards, but this would have been typical clothing for a summer outing in 1911. |
