This postcard has a linen texture, and is one of the classic photos of Seattle. In the left foreground is the Sparger Residence, while Franklin Park is the small green space in the foreground. Mt. Rainier may be seen in the background.

From the back: "Seattle, a city of ocean commerce, is pictured in the great wharves and vessels lining its miles of salt water front; of large industrial plants; of modern commercial buildings; of imposing public structures. It is know as one of the best lighted cities in the world. Magnificent views of the city's metropolitan district can be enjoyed at vantage points along the crest of Queen Ann(sic) Hill."
