Northern Pacific Railroad depot, circa 1905
Order an ImageBetween 1892 and 1906, the Northern Pacific Railroad had a depot on Railroad Avenue at Columbia Street. Many people who were headed to the northern gold fields arrived by train at this Seattle railroad station. In 1906, the railroad moved its operations to the new King Street Station.
This photo, probably taken sometime between 1904 and 1906, shows the low Northern Pacific depot with its long flat roof. The large building with the smokestack generated electricity for the interurban railroad that ran between Seattle and Tacoma. It still generates steam to heat nearby buildings in the downtown area.
