<p>This view looks north along Railroad Avenue and shows the ferry terminal and, in the far distance, the original Seattle Yacht Club. The car line and tide-washed "road" under the trestle and alongside the lowlands had been named Railroad Avenue, but by 1910 was renamed Alki Avenue.</p>

That is Luna Park. The original Seattle Yacht Club is actually slightly out of frame to the right. See <a href="//commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:West_Seattle_shore_from_Duwamish_head_to_the_mill_and_grain_elevator,_1918.png" title="File:West Seattle shore from Duwamish head to the mill and grain elevator, 1918.png">File:West Seattle shore from Duwamish head to the mill and grain elevator, 1918.png</a>, a 1918 map. By then, Luna Park was gone except for its natatorium, but other than that it seems to bear out that the Yacht Club would be off to the right.
