Ira J. Webster (1871–1942) and Nelson Stevens (1874–1938) were pioneering photojournalists based in Seattle. They found quick success as photographers, and established their studio only four years after moving from Michigan. Living up to their motto "We Take Anything. Anytime. Anywhere.", their omnipresence in print publications of the Puget Sound amounts to more than 60,000 photographs taken over the course of their career. Webster & Stevens helped popularize the use of photography in commercial advertising, journalism, and industry throughout the Pacific Northwest, and provided photographic services to many significant Pacific Northwest businesses, most notably the Seattle Times between 1906 and 1942.
Photographs taken by Ira Webster and Nelson Stevens, documenting the Puget Sound, its industries, and its residents, including the Puget Mill Company, the University of Washington, and Native American communities.
Some photographs in this collection fall outside of the lifetimes of Webster and Stevens. The Webster & Stevens Studio, like many of their contemporaries, bought out photographic catalogs then claimed their contents as being their own work. In addition, workers at the Studio continued to produce photographs under the name Webster & Stevens despite not being the work of either photographer after their death.

On January 21st, 1879, the Seattle Fire Department received a new mechanical fire engine of the Gould manufacture. After assembling the engine, it was paraded through the city on February 1st at 3PM, with a procession of firefighters and municipal staff. The Gould was capable of generating 140 PSI and shooting water more than a city block of distance.
Logging probably in the Fort Lewis area of Pierce County, Washington.

In 1853, William Talbot established the Puget Mill Company in Port Gamble (Teekalet until 1868). Talbot's crew, comprised mostly of workers from his hometown of East Machias, Maine, constructed the mill and its company town on the Port's sand spit. The mill, despite briefly changing hands during the Great Depression, operated continuously for 142 years (1853-1995). The main mill was in Port Gamble, with additional business done out of Port Ludlow, Washington.

The successful Seattle architectural firm of Bebb and Mendel designed the Hotel Puget Annex, a group of three, three-story, wood-frame buildings used to serve work[ers] in the town of Port Gamble [...] It was designed to serve the single men who worked as loggers, lumber mill employees, longshoremen[,] and fishermen in town. In 1907, the architects produced plans for Puget Mill's Port Gamble Hotel Puget Annex, the posh Hotel Puget, designed for guests of the company and visitors to the Kitsap Peninsula, and several carriage houses and automobile garages.

In 1889, C.D. Stimson founded his eponymous milling company to profit from Seattle's reconstruction process in the wake of the Great Fire. Centered in the then-city of Ballard, it grew to produce high volumes of shingles and specialized lumber products, becoming a key figure of Ballard's industries. The Company operated for 69 years (1889-1958) before closing its operations in favor of more diversified industries.

In June 1889, a fire at Front St (First Ave) and Madison Ave quickly spread over twenty-five city blocks, burning every wharf, building, and mill from Union Sreet to Jackson Street. Thousands of people were displaced, 120 acres of land burnt, and approximately five-thousand people lost their jobs; close to twelve percent of the city. The city estimated its losses at over $8 million, which did not include personal losses or utilities damage, which may have brought the actual cost close to $20 million (appx. $650 million today).
Reconstruction from the so-called "Great Seattle Fire" was swift due to corporate sponsorship, municipal partnerships (namely Tacoma), and goverment relief programs. The city largely recouped its losses the year after, adding over five-hundred new buildings and numerous new development areas. In October 1889, the Seattle Fire Department was professionalized. Concurrently, the water utility was municipalized, modernized, and expanded.

This hemlock kootéeyaa (totem pole) was carved to honor
Chief-of-All-Women, a Tlingit woman of the Kinninook family, a clan of the
̱̱g͏̱aanax.ádi (Raven moiety). Her family had solicited a carver to create a
pole they felt represented Chief-of-All-Women, and raised it at a potlach in
her honor. From 1790 the pole stood at Taant͏̛a (in Tongass Island) until
members from the Seattle Chamber of Commerce with accessory from crew on the
Seattle's Totem Poles (Garfield, 1996). Tlingit Dictionary (Twitchwell, 2017).
From top to bottom, the figures depicted in the totem are: Raven; the frog princess with her child; the frog princess' husband; Mink; Raven alongside Whale, with a seal in his mouth; and Raven-at-the-Head-of-Nass (Grandfather of Raven).

From the late 19th to the early 20th century, downtown Seattle was regraded at least five separate times, each reducing parts of Denny Hill and its surroundings, and adding to the nascent Harbor Island, comprised of infill. Upon the last regrade, Denny Hill was nearly flat and was then known as the "Denny Triangle".

Around 1910, this location became the new Seattle Chinatown (and part of Japantown shortly thereafter) due to racial violence, legal discrimination (including redlining), and economic shifts forcing immigration from other parts of the city. Manilatown developed alongside Chinatown during this time. The present term for this neighborhood, "International District," became popularized by developers in the 1950s, and entered common use in the following decades alongside.

Ford Model-T chassis changed semi-frequently during their production run but these changes were often not indicated by model years. In the year between 1915 and 1916, electric lights replaced acetylene gas headlamps, louvers were added to the vertical runs of the engine, and the windshield was combined with the cowl panel and moved behind the firewall.
After the attack on Pearl Harbor, the United States military assumed control of many West Coast airports going into World War Two; both Boeing Field in South Seattle and McChord Field in Tacoma all but ceased civilian carriage. In 1942, the Civil Aeronautics Authority (the predecessor to the Federal Aviation Administration), formally sought a Puget Sound municipality to create a new airport for the area, which The Port of Seattle accepted. The Seattle-Tacoma Airport ("SeaTac") opened to full civilian operations on July 9, 1949 upon the completion of its first terminal. However, military and limited civilian use existed at the airport as early as October 1944.
Western Airlines, one of the major North American airlines until the latter half of the 20th century, began serving SeaTac in 1948. DC-4 planes were commonly used throughout World War Two, and refitted to serve civilian operations. The characteristic "Arrowliner" livery featured on this plane was common throughout the airline until the late 1950's.

Campus Day was a large-scale, volunteer labor project put on near the first Friday of every May, focused on the "[beautification] of the campus." Beginning in 1904, these projects focused on infrastructure, construction, and other campus-wide events. In accordance with gender roles of the time, the female faculty and students were made to prepare the Campus Day meal while digging, planting, and other "physical" tasks were given to male faculty and students.

The Washington Elm was a tree in Cambridge, MA since before the Revolutionary War, made famous for being in the proximity of a speech given by George Washington. When it died in the 1923, many clippings of the tree were sent around the country to be propagated in its honor. Many trees since have claimed to be descendent from the Washington Elm, and are often marked with accompanying plaques. The authenticity of this so-called Washington Elm cannot be verified.
The southeastern area of Lake Washington above Montlake was known as the town of Yesler from 1888 to 1920 (its annexation by the City of Seattle).
