Summary

Tinted photo. Original caption: "ON SECOND AVENUE. A section of the parade which greeted the Atlantic Squadron at Seattle". From the materials for the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alaska-Yukon-Pacific_Exposition" class="extiw" title="en:Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition">Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition</a> of 1909, held in Seattle.

The building in extreme perspective at near left is the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seattle_Hotel" class="extiw" title="w:Seattle Hotel">Seattle Hotel</a> (a.k.a. Hotel Seattle), demolished in the 1960s. The next building on the left is the Butler Hotel (its sign can be seen), the lower two stories of which survive. The first building on the right is gone, replaced in 1929 by the Hartford Building. The Corona Building and the Alaska Building (second and third from right) are still standing.

Another image from about a year earlier and from almost exactly the same viewpoint can be seen at <a href="//commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Seattle_-_Second_Avenue_-_1907.jpg" title="File:Seattle - Second Avenue - 1907.jpg">Image:Seattle - Second Avenue - 1907.jpg</a>.
