The intersection of Westlake and Fourth Avenues continued to develop as Seattle's business district expanded to the north.
<p>If you compare this photo, taken about 1919, with one taken at the same location about ten years earlier, it is easy to see how much car traffic in Seattle had increased. In this later photo, Fourth Avenue, to the left, has been regraded and is now at almost the same level as Westlake. The Plaza Hotel stands at the intersection in both photos.
