  • Subjects (LCTGM): People--Washington (State)--Seattle; Residential streets--Washington (State)--Seattle; Street railroad tracks--Washington (State)--Seattle; Dwellings--Washington (State)--Seattle; Carts & wagons--Washington (State)--Seattle; Utility poles--Washington (State)--Seattle; Electric lines--Washington (State)--Seattle
  • Subjects (LCSH): Fremont (Seattle, Wash.)

Judging mainly from "Fremont" plus that turn in the streetcar line, this must be looking southeast at 43rd & Phinney. None of these buildings remain.

This appears to be the aftermath of a streetcar accident, where the tram slipped its tracks on the way down Phinney. Note the tram on the incline at right were there weren't any tracks.
