USS Washington
(Armored Cruiser # 11)

Off Seattle, Washington, with the Olympic Mountains in the distance, 1908.
Photographed by Asahel Curtis.
The original photograph is accompanied by the following text: "Olympic Mountains, looking westward across Puget Sound from the end of one of the piers on the Seattle waterfront, with the cruiser Washington, of the United States Navy, in the foreground. This gives a graphic idea of the scenery which the residents of Seattle enjoy, as part of their daily life. A portion of the Olympics has been set aside as a government game preserve and national park, thus giving the city the distinction of having two national parks within a short distance, and within range of vision from its streets."
