During World War I, the U.S. Navy had a training station on the University of Washington campus. The Navy buildings were on the shore of Lake Union, near where the university's health sciences center is now located.

This 1917 photo shows sailors moving supplies at the Naval Training Station on Lake Union, near the Varsity Boat Club. The crates are filled with soap, tobacco, beans, pumpkin, and ketchup. The Montlake neighborhood is in the background, across the water.
