Fremont neighborhood, Seattle, ca 1906 (MOHAI 707)

Seattle's Fremont neighborhood, northwest of Lake Union, was named for a town in Nebraska where some of its founders hailed from. Fremont started in the 1880s as a settlement around a sawmill, and grew to a town of 5,000 before it became part of Seattle in 1891. Lake Union emptied into Salmon Bay through a narrow channel called the Outlet. By 1916, the Outlet had been enlarged as part of the Lake Washington Ship Canal.
