Description |
English: This image of downtown Seattle was taken facing south from the top of a building at approximately Stewart Street. First Hill is at the left edge of the frame, with both St. James Cathedral and the County Courthouse visible. Beacon Hill is in the center distance, and Elliott Bay is on the right edge of the frame. The prevalence of flags and other decorations suggest that this photo may have been taken before or after a patriotic event or parade.
