You're at 7th Ave. West and West Crockett

The first photo of 7th Avenue West and Crockett Street, looking northeast, was taken in 1912 by James Patrick Lee; part of the Lee Collection of photographs of the University of Washington. James Lee in 1910 was a messenger boy for the Seattle Engineering Department. Beginning in 1913 through his retirement in 1957, he was a photographer for the blue-print and photographic division which documented the progress of major city construction jobs.

You may be able to see the streetcar tracks which ran along 7th Ave. The street, as part of the Queen Anne Boulevard project, was to be paved in the next year. Just one block south, major road grading, property condemnation, and wall building would be necessary to complete the walk we have today with the beautiful westerly views from Seventh Ave. West.
