| Description |
English: In the winter of 1913, the Seattle-based hydraulic contracting firm Lewis, Wiley & Morse began work on a regrade, fill and seawall project along Alki Avenue in West Seattle. The construction continued through 1913 and was completed in the spring of 1914. The project involved a hydraulic hillside regrade near the intersection of Fairmount Avenue and Alki Avenue. A new seawall was constructed along Elliott Bay and a municipal water system pipeline installed along Alki Avenue. The existing wood plank roadbed was also widened during the 1913-1914 projects. Alki Avenue was eventually paved in 1923. In this photo, the high pressure stream from a water cannon is visible at the edge of the remaining hillside. Caption on photo: #46. Lewis. Wiley & Morse, Inc. Alki Ave. regrade. Looking S. into the pit. June 20, 1913.
