From 1902 to 1917, three bridges were built to serve West Seattle (which was annexed in 1907); unfortunately, none of these were permanent structures. Despite its numerous wooden predecessors, the steel bridge featured here was officially known as West Spokane Street Bridge No. 1 (North). It was finally completed in 1924; its sister bridge, West Spokane Street Bridge No. 2 (South) opened in September of 1930.

If I understand correctly, this is a view from southeast of Pigeon Point. The wooden trestle bridge in the foreground is an older bridge, about to be removed. The bascule bridge behind it is the 1924 bridge in the latter stages of construction. The buildings are on Harbor Island.
