A couple days ago, some members of the Mars Hill flock were baptised in Jesus’ name in the frigid waters off Alki Beach. Here are a few snapshots of the same scene from September 5th, 1934 as the 53rd Avenue S.W. Wood sewage outfall was extended. Click on the photos for full resolution.
Haw, in the upper left corner of the top pic you can see the one-story brick courtyard apartments that TO THIS DAY suffers a sewer smell quite frequently. I recall hearing by scuttlebutt that the main sewer line for that neck of the woods was the source of the smell – these pics seem to confirm it!
