High Point housing project, July 1942
Order an ImageWhen the United States entered World War II in December 1941, workers were already pouring into Seattle to work at Boeing and other war industries. The Seattle Housing Authority rushed to complete High Point in West Seattle to house some of the war workers. Some 650 carpenters and other laborers built 700 homes, mainly duplexes.
This July 1942 shows the High Point housing project in West Seattle as it nears completion. The homes, most of which housed two families, are spread across the hillside overlooking Elliott Bay.
Written on negative: High Point Project.
