Title

Description
English:

Alki Beach had been a favorite campsite for the Indians and, upon installation of ferry service in 1888, it became a popular Sunday outing for Seattleites. By 1902, the beach was so popular that it became the destination for a new electric street railway line from Seattle. This view looks north and shows the muddy roadway alongside the streetcar tracks before it was widened in about 1914.

Handwritten on sleeve: West Seattle.
