This evocative photograph captures the grandeur of the Hotel Washington in Seattle, Washington, during the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition (A-Y-P) in 1909. The exposition, held to celebrate the growth and development of the Pacific Northwest, attracted over two million visitors and showcased the region's rich natural resources and cultural diversity. 3. The Hotel Washington, a prominent feature of the exposition, stands proudly in the background of this image.

These cards, featuring images of the exposition's various attractions, have become collectors' items and serve as a reminder of the historic event that brought together the people of the Pacific Northwest and beyond. 6. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into Seattle's past, capturing the essence of a bygone era and the spirit of an important moment in the city's history.
