Title
English: Fisher Flouring Mills on Harbor Island, Seattle, circa 1915
Description
English:

In 1911, founding brothers O. D. and O. W. Fisher began milling flour at the Fisher Flouring Mills on Seattle's Harbor Island in Elliott Bay. The grain silo and milling complex was one of the first facilities built on the artificial island after the island's completion in 1909. In 2001, Fisher sold the mill to Pendleton Flour Mills, which closed the mill in 2002 and sold the property to King County the following year. This image of the Fisher Flouring Mill's grain silos and property on Harbor Island was taken facing north east, looking over the West Waterway of the Duwamish River. The logs at the bottom of the frame belong to the West Waterway Lumber Company, located on the eastern shore of West Seattle.
