Automobile excursion on the paved Bothell Highway, circa 1911
Order an ImageThe Bothell Highway ran north from Lake City along the northern shore of Lake Washington. It connected Seattle and nearby towns to Bothell. A drive to Bothell was a popular Sunday excursion for citydwellers. The road was first paved in 1911, but the new "waterproof non-skidding and low maintenance" surface turned to a sticky tar. The road was repaved in 1912 with a more permanent material.
In this photo, taken about 1911, a National car makes its way along the recently-paved Bothell Highway.
