Native people from many parts of the Northwest Coast came to Seattle to trade and buy supplies. In this 1898 photo by O.P. Anderson, an indigenous woman stands by a canoe at the Seattle waterfront. The tall prow of the canoe and the design of her hat suggest that she is from Vancouver Island or some other part of coastal Canada. The photo was taken two blocks south of King Street, near First Avenue.
