Description |
English: For many years, Seattle has been a major port for the shipment of grain from eastern Washington and other grain-growing states to the east coast and Pacific ports. In 1915, the Port of Seattle built a large grain elevator and storage facility at its Hanford Street Terminal, in the industrial area south of downtown Seattle. The facility was expanded several times over the next decade to keep up with business. This photo, probably taken in 1927, shows a new addition to the elevator complex. This increased storage capacity to 1.5 million bushels of grain. In 1927, the Port of Seattle handled 4,125 tons of foreign and domestic grain and grain products.
