English: West Spokane Street Bridge base under construction, Seattle, May 20, 1924 |

Description |
English: From 1902 to 1917, three temporary wooden bridges were built over the west water way of the Duwamish River, connecting Harbor Island to West Seattle (annexed in 1907). The first permanent steel bridge, officially known as West Spokane Street Bridge No. 1 (North), was a low-level bascule bridge that opened on November 27, 1924, Thanksgiving Day, and was in use until 1978. This west-facing view shows the bridge base under construction above a street and rail tracks. Several men can be seen working on the base, likely employees of J. A. McEachern Co., the firm hired to build the bridge. James P. Lee (1894-1963) was the City of Seattle's Engineering Department photographer from 1922-1957.Caption information source: Seattle Daily Times, October 20, 1922, page 27
