The description here from University of Washington Libraries says, "from rooftop near 1st Ave. and Union St.", but given that the fire started at First & Madison, the angle here is wrong for that. http://digitalcollections.lib.washington.edu/digital/collection/imlsmohai/id/5829 (from the Museum of History and Industry), another print of what appears to be the same negative, says "from the roof of a building at Pike Street and Second Avenue", which fits the angle much better.
