Upper Second Avenue, 1908
Order an ImageBy 1908, Seattle's Second Avenue looked much as it does today. The city had removed part of Denny Hill, and businessmen had replaced the old hilltop Washington Hotel with a building at the lower street level. Visitors to the city admired the new ornamental streetlights which had begun to line the main business streets.
In this 1908 photo, pedestrians cross Pine Street, while wagon traffic moves along Second Avenue past the new electric streetlights. The new Washington Hotel (now The Josephinum) is the large building at the center, behind the wagon, and the Moore Theatre is just beyond it. The old Washington Hotel had stood on Denny Hill, at the level of the roof of the theater.
