| Title | Automobile excursion on the paved Bothell Highway, ca. 1911 |
| Photographer | Webster & Stevens |
| Date | ca. 1911 |
| Caption | The Bothell Highway ran north from Lake City along the northern shore of Lake Washington. It connected Seattle and nearby towns to Bothell. A drive to Bothell was a popular Sunday excursion for citydwellers. The road was first paved in 1911, but the new "waterproof non-skidding and low maintenance" surface turned to a sticky tar. The road was repaved in 1912 with a more permanent material.
In this photo, taken about 1911, a National car makes its way along the recently-paved Bothell Highway. |
