3.-Salmon-Bay-ca.-1887-by-Lowman-WEB- copy

This captioned photo near the passage where Shilshole Bay narrows for its turn into Salmon Bay (later the site of the Chittenden Locks) is dated 1887 and so at about the time that the future Ballard was being first developed as Farmdale or more than a homestead. It was also the year when the Seattle Lakeshore and Eastern Railroad first reached Salmon Bay from the Seattle Waterfront. This photo was used in a feature and it included below as the fourth Edge Link down.
