Although lacking a publication date, we posit 1929 due to a photo of the Boeing 80A, which first flew that year. Railroad enthusiasts might pinpoint the date based on roundtrip rail fare from Chicago to Seattle pegged at $90.30.

Seattle's ascendancy as the chief city of the Pacific Northwest. A promotional view book with heavy emphasis on parks and Seattle's "City Beautiful" effort. Also includes photos of the Olympic Golf and Country Club, the Big Four Inn, the lodge at Paradise, Mt. Rainier, the Chippewa ferry of the Black Ball Line, and ships in the Alaska Steamship Company fleet. The Seattle Spirit pervades the publication. Now preserved in a clear, removable archival sleeve with acid-free backing.
