A View Of Harborview 1931

“We save lives at Harborview.” That’s the license plate frame quote I see every day on my way to work — my neighbor is a nurse there. Here’s an old linen-era postcard from when Harborview’s current location was new in 1931. According to Wikipedia, the hospital had another location in Gerogetown prior to the First Hill move. Click on the postcard for higher res.

Harbor View Hospital, Seattle. Seattle’s New Hospital Building. One of the finest edifices of its kind on the Coast. Cost — approimately $2,750,000.

   I have a picture of Seattle from 1941 where HMC is sitting all new and shiny on top of the hill! Amazing shot! Jefferson Ave is still a dirt road with one sided sidewalk! Great picture! thanks for sharing, HMC employee!
