On Monday we had a look at this sepia toned 1950 shot and today we have another sepia toned snapshot from further back. Exactly when is anyone’s guess as the Washington State Digital Archives did not have a date on this one. It’s an interesting window into the early days of Seattle and its wooden structures. Click for high res.
Photo of part of Seattle with many wooden homes and other buildings, including two large buildings with cupolas. One building has “Steam Laundry” written on it and another has signs that say “Chas. Louch” and “Cigars Tobacco Groceries and Provisions.” Photo by Warner and Davis. Image courtesy Washington State Digital Archives.

Vintage Seattle contributor Allen is at it again with this 1909 Seattle panorama that just keeps going… and going. At 11436 x 2480 pixels this puppy has to be one of the largest ever to hit the blog. The photo was originally taken by A.J. Park from the George W. Elliott residence and you can make out a number of early Seattle landmarks. Thanks Allen! Click for the super duper high res.
