Summary[edit]

Description

Page 63 of brochure Seattle and the Orient (1900). This page includes text plus a photo captioned "Building of Puget Sound News Co."

According to Polk's Seattle City Directory 1899 (Polk's Seattle Directory Co., 1899), p. 797, the company was at the corner of Western Ave. and Columbia Street. I think, though I'm not sure, that the lower portion of this survives as part of the Journal Building, also known as Journal of Commerce Building / Daily Journal Building. See Summary for 83 Columbia ST / Parcel ID 7666202580, Seattle Department of Neighborhoods: they are clearly uncertain about the history of that building, what parts of it date from when, etc. Hope this picture helps sort some of it out.
