Seattle, Washington panoramic photo circa 1910

Panoramic photo (actually, two photos side-by-side) of the city of Seattle, Washington, some roughly 1906–1910. Titled "Seattle, Washington, overlooking the wholesale district". The picture can be dated roughly 1906–1910, because the Alaska Building his been erected, but the Smith Tower has not. It would appear to have been taken from the tower of King Street Station. This shows the Pioneer Square neighborhood before Second Avenue Extension came through. Several of the buildings that are front and center in this photo were sacrificed in whole or in part for that project. At the lower left is the Hotel Cadillac (with sign lettered near top), now the site of the Seattle Unit of the Klondike Gold Rush National Historical Park. At upper right is the then-new St. James Cathedral (Roman Catholic). At upper left is Elliott Bay.
