Downtown Seattle, looking north on 2nd Ave from James St, 1907 (MOHAI 9639)

This view of downtown Seattle shows the bustling Second Avenue at its James Street crossroad. The police officer in the center of the street has his hands full directing the many different kids of traffic seen here: pedestrians, horse-drawn carriages, horse-drawn delivery wagons, and even early automobiles.
