Title
English: Black River, Seattle, ca. 1899
Description
English: Before the building of the Lake Washington Ship Canal lowered the level of Lake Washington, the Black River linked lake commerce with Puget Sound by way of the Duwamish River. After the lowering of the lake during the summer of 1916, the Black River dried up and gradually disappeared. This photo shows the Black River as it looked around 1898-1900.
  • Subjects (LCTGM): Forests; Rivers
Despite title, this can't really be Seattle. The Black River ran from Renton to Tukwila.
