Former bridges[edit]
-
1891 map showing several trestle bridges on Elliott Bay, including an east-west bridge north of the area where Harbor Island would later be constructed.
-
A different alignment in that area, 1916. This is looking east along SW Spokane Street toward Pigeon Point. None of this is water nowadays.
-
1905 photograph showing some of those trestle bridges.
-
Earlier bridges near the site of the present-day Ballard Bridge (shown here in 1902, when Salmon Bay was still tidal; view from the south). The bridge on the right is aligned with NW 14th Street, not NW 15th (the alignment of the present-day bridge)
-
The South Canal trestle and Grant St Bridge (shown here in 1901; view from the south) ran north-south near the foot of Beacon Hill, in what would soon be filled in and become the Industrial District
-
The West Wheeler Street Bridge across Interbay (shown here in 1914; view from the east)
-
Stone Way Bridge, predecessor of the present-day Aurora Bridge (shown here in 1916; view from the east)
