Summary edit

Description
English: "I am having a fine time. Wish you were here." The postmark on the back is Sept 1905.

Up to the right, the Alaska Building is nearing completion. It opened in 1904.

In the distance, just to the left of the leftmost streetcar, I can just make out the two street clocks of Frederick & Co and L. L. Moore. Maybe they're too small for you.

Further left in the foreground is something special. The jeweler in the Metropole Hotel, London Loan, has a glass-faced fake street clock (these were gas lamps with ads on them). These existed in Seattle for a very short time. All that I've seen are in photos dated "circa 1903". I assume that a legal loophole was closed, eliminating them.

Postcard "Second and Yesler." No. 828, published by The Puget Sound News Company.
