About this map

Elliott Bay and the industrial corridors of the Duwamish Waterway define this mid-century portrait of Seattle's southern expansion. The landscape is a complex intersection of maritime commerce and residential growth, featuring the massive footprints of Harbor Island and the King County International Airport. Purple photorevisions from 1968 and 1973 highlight the modernization of the city's infrastructure, including the Alaskan Way Viaduct and the iconic Space Needle.
