English: In 1911, founding brothers O. D. and O. W. Fisher began milling flour at the Fisher Flouring Mills on Seattle's Harbor Island in Elliott Bay. The grain silo and milling complex was one of the first facilities built on the artificial island after the island's completion in 1909. In 2001, Fisher sold the mill to Pendleton Flour Mills. The mill closed in 2002, and the property was sold to King County in 2003.
This image of the Fisher Flouring Mill's grain silos and property on Harbor Island faces north east from the West Waterway of the Duwamish River, with downtown Seattle visible in the distance. West Waterway Lumber Company and the marble yard of a monument company can be seen in the foreground.
