Seattle Memories: The Early Years | A Pictorial History

A huge crowd turned out for a parade on Second Avenue on May 26, 1908, to celebrate a visit by the Great White Fleet, a popular nickname for the Navy fleet of 16 U.S. battleships that were on a 14-month worldwide tour by order of President Theodore Roosevelt.

Jo-Jo White of the Seattle Rainiers takes a mighty swing during a game in 1939 at Sick’s Stadium in Rainier Valley. The Rainiers, a minor-league team, played in the Pacific Coast League. The stadium (later spelled Sicks’ Stadium) also was home to the Seattle Pilots for their one season in the American League in 1969. In 1979, the stadium was demolished and replaced by a home-improvement store. Courtesy The Seattle Times Archives

Bleachers are set up along the Montlake Cut next to the Montlake Bridge in advance of the Shrine Convention Marine Pageant on July 16, 1936. The parade on water featured floats that really floated. The bridge opened June 27, 1925. The distinctive Gothic control towers are intended to reflect the dominant architectural forms of the nearby University of Washington campus.
