Re: "west on Broad", it really has to be southwest on Broad (which runs at 45° to the grid). This is clearly later than File:Broad Street and 5th Avenue, ca 1920 (SEATTLE 456).jpg: the building at right is the same, but in the present photo:

  • A larger building has been built at left
  • A service station has been added diagonally at left
  • An overhead traffic signal has been added over the intersection
  • Houses have been torn down straight ahead, allowing Broad Street to be extended further. The [www.edge-archive.com/maps/baist/Plates/08.pdf 1912 Baist map of Seattle (plate 8)] shows those houses and is marked to show the intent to remove them.
