Title
English: Crowds waiting to see the Liberty Bell, Seattle, July 14, 1915
Description
English: In 1915, the Liberty Bell made the long railroad journey to the Panama Pacific Exposition in San Francisco, stopping in many cities along the way. It arrived at Seattle's King Street Station on the morning of July 14th, 1915 and was moved to a viewing area where large crowds waited. State and local dignitaries welcomed the bell with speeches, and the air was filled with patriotic music and exploding firecrackers.

In this image, a huge crowd waits to see the Liberty Bell at the King and Occidental viewing area. The top of Smith Tower can be seen in the distance.
