Order an Image
At the start of the twentieth century, Seattle's Fremont area had lumber mills and a commercial district. Before the Lake Washington Ship Canal was built, Fremont's Canal Street ran along a small canal used for moving logs to nearby mills. Railroad tracks ran along the canal.

This photo, taken around 1910, shows the building of a retaining wall along Canal Street in Fremont. The old canal is out of sight, to the left. Many of the buildings in the photo were still there in the 1990s.
