The view looks across Seattle's waterfront, where steamships and sailing vessels lie at wooden piers. Warehouses and commercial blocks line the shore, including signs for the Arlington Dock Company and Galbraith, Bacon & Co., with the city rising behind. Seattle hosted the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition in 1909, and the working harbor was busy with passenger and freight traffic.
