Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Troops march July 4, 1917, headed north on Westlake Avenue, Seattle, Washington. The paraders are turning from 4th Avenue onto Westlake, near Pine. Seattle Times 7/4/1917 page 9 "Seattle Ship Way Dedicated to Traffic" includes the route which went west on Pike to Westlake, north past Times Square Building to Stewart, and then west. Up ahead in this view the parade route turns at about Stewart, just beyond the Times Square Building.]

On the right are the clocks of Arne Sunde, and behind it Irving Bennett at the corner of Westlake. This is the first photo I've seen of Bennett at this location, which is pretty exciting for me.

The streetcar ahead is turning on Pine Street. The road between the foreground and streetcar, including the hotel on the left with "POOL" on it, are all now Westlake Park. I considered including this stretch of Westlake Avenue in my new book Lost Seattle, but went with the Westlake Monorail Station instead.
