Some of the parks on Seattle's Lake Washington provided platforms for tent camping. City dwellers could escape to the woods and spend the warm summer days and nights by the lakeshore.
<p>This photo, taken by Anders Wilse for the Seattle Photo Company, shows a shady campsite by the shores of Lake Washington. A canoe and several other small boats are hauled up on the beach. Behind the canoe, a fringed hammock hangs in the shade between two trees (center). A man lounges on the steps of his tent platform (right).
