Description
English:

From 1902 to 1917, three temporary wooden bridges were built over the west water way of the Duwamish River, connecting Harbor Island to West Seattle (annexed in 1907).

This west-facing view shows one of the old wooden bridges (right) next to the first permanent steel bridge (left) under construction. The new bridge, a low-level bascule bridge, officially known as West Spokane Street Bridge No. 1 (North), opened on November 27, 1924, Thanksgiving Day, and was in use until 1978.

James P. Lee (1894-1963) was the City of Seattle's Engineering Department photographer from 1922-1957.
