Description From the materials for the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition of 1909, held in Seattle. Tinted photo captioned "Upper Second Avenue. New Washington Hotel and other buildings, all constructed in the past 18 months." The reason these buildings were all newly constructed was that the area had just undergone a major regrading project, one of the early regrades of part of Denny Hill, although this area is a bit south of anything commonly thought of today as the Denny Regrade. The building at left is now the Broadacres Building (home of Nordstrom Rack); the Moore Hotel and Theatre is still going strong, and the New Washington Hotel is now the Josephinum. The nearest building at right was demolished decades ago.
Date Edition dated 1909-02-20. Photo 1909 or slightly earlier.

This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain
This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.
Public domain works must be out of copyright in both the United States and in the source country of the work in order to be hosted on the Commons. If the work is not a U.S. work, the file must have an additional copyright tag indicating the copyright status in the source country.
Note: This tag should not be used for sound recordings.PD-1923Public domain in the United States//commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Argus_-_A.Y.P._ed._-_Page_40b.jpg

This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.

Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag.
