| Title | Seattle from Capitol Hill, 1905 |
| Photographer | Webster & Stevens |
| Date | 1905 |
| Caption | Between 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, taken on a sunny afternoon in 1905, shows a residential area on Capitol Hill, near the intersection of Denny Way and Summit Avenue. Summit runs from left to right across the foreground of the image. The view is towards the southwest, across the city and Elliott Bay. |
