EDITORS COMMENTS
Water Front, Seattle, WA - Alaska Yukon Pacific Exposition, 1909" is a captivating photograph that showcases the vibrant energy and bustling activity of Seattle's waterfront during the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition in 1909. The image, taken from a bird's eye view, presents a panoramic scene of the Elliott Bay waterfront, with the Seattle skyline stretching out in the background. The photograph is a testament to the city's rich maritime heritage, with numerous boats and ships anchored in the bay, their sails billowing in the wind. The Seattle ferry, a prominent feature in the foreground, adds to the sense of movement and activity, as it prepares to embark on its next journey across the water. The Alaska Yukon Pacific Exposition, held from June to October in 1909, brought together people from all walks of life to celebrate the growth and progress of the Pacific Northwest. The exposition's influence is evident in the photograph, with the temporary structures and grand pavilions erected along the waterfront. The use of playing cards in the title of this photograph adds an intriguing layer of meaning. It could be a reference to the gambling and card games that were popular during the exposition, or it could be a nod to the role that chance and luck played in the lives of the people who came to Seattle in search of fortune during the Klondike Gold Rush. Regardless of its meaning, "Water Front, Seattle, WA - Alaska Yukon Pacific Exposition, 1909" is a captivating snapshot of a bygone era, offering a glimpse into the history and character of Seattle during a time of great change and excitement.
