2 Jackson-H-Names-lkWc88WEB

Looking west down Jackson ca. 1888 from near 9th Avenue and so near the highest point on the ridge before it was cut away 85 to 90 feet with the 1907-1909 regrade. That, of course, is Holy Names Academy on the left and West Seattle far off. Note how the tidewater still fills the bay directly south of Jackson and King Streets where the sports stadiums now rest on their own pilings.
