Photograph
Mount Rainier and Lake Washington, circa 1900
Order an ImageWhen the weather is clear, Mount Rainier dominates the scenery in the central Puget Sound region. This photograph, taken by Seattle photographer George Braas, shows Mount Rainier over Lake Washington. The photograph was probably taken around 1900 from Seattle's Madrona district, looking southeast across the lake. Seward Park is visible on the left. The elevation of Mount Rainier written on the photo (14,444 feet) is now known to be incorrect - the mountain is actually 14,410 feet high.
