This is by far the most epic Seattle skyline Panorama-o-rama we’ve ever posted. It shows five solid miles of Seattle’s waterfront as photographed in August 1907.
Bradford is sure to love it and I think you will too. It’s a pretty fascinating look at a city just starting to become
“hugeass.” This was the pre-skyscraper era, where structures like the old Courthouse and St. James Cathedral ruled the skyline. While you’re at it, look back to our
first panorama-o-rama and the
second.

Its so cool to see the Seattle that my great grandmother arrived at along with her parents near the turn of the 20th century and a Seattle one year after my house was built in 1906. Something always makes me wish that they had not torn down Denny Hill too when I see pictures with it still there…

Enjoy floundering upon your website. I’m interested in your content and the design is also a frequent delight. I’ve marked it of course. We at washingtonthenandnow also have a few pans from 1906-7-8 up on the site that is named for Jean Sherrard and my resent (well last year) book Washington Then and Now. Please check out the website if you will. We also have fun when there is time for dorpat/sherrard - a blog. Keep up the good stuff.
