Summary

[edit]
Description

Part of plate Plate 2, Insurance Maps of Seattle, Washington, Volume 1, Sanborn Map Company, 1893, updated to 1903.

This image is in the north part of downtown, from 2nd Avenue to slightly east of 4th Avenue and from Seneca Street to Pike Street. It includes much of the original University of Washington Campus (now the Metropolitan Tract).

At the northeast corner of 2nd and Union was the office at the time of the Seattle Times.

Few buildings from this period survive in this area of town. Among the few that do is the Brooklyn (southeast corner of 2nd and University).

Copied by taking a photograph of a page in a copy of the book at Seattle Public Library (Seattle Room of the Central Library); image cleaned up using GIMP, mainly using the perspective transform feature.
Date Originally printed/published 1893, updated to reflect changes from then till 1903
