So I am pretty sure that the answer to this question is going to be *crickets*, but: does anybody have a full map of Seattle from the 1920s saved onto their computer they could send me? All I can find are bits and pieces of the city, or maps from 1908 or something, and Seattle did quite a bit of growing between those years.

help! i need somebody

You can't download it, but you can LOOK at it...almost alllll the way down't at the bottom, it's third to last, there is a map of the City of Seattle circa 1914. Closest I could find. You might try poking around at the rest of the site, as it's a huge archive.

Look at the very very bottom. Supposed to be Seattle c. 1950.

Thanks! I'm so glad to find a map that has the names of all the districts and their general locations. DESPERATELY NEEDED :D

Welcome! Hope it was of some use.

Oh! And the "Key Map" will show you how to place each plate together (there's 19 I believe) so that you can see the whole city together.

If you wanted, I could always try and use them to create one huge map for you, but I thought it might be easier to view them as smaller files on a grid.

I have no idea where your other comment went! But for my own future reference, here's the link you gave me, via my email copy: 1923 zoning map.

Also, this is perfect! THERE ARE SO MANY MAPS I CAN LOOK THROUGH IN THE ARCHIVES. Now I just need to not get bogged down in details that no one would ever care about or even KNOW, like where the fire hydrants are. (I am stupidly excited that some of these maps give that much detail.)

Thanks for the link! :D And d'aww, Zell icon. (Speaking of Zell, Baco just found this Zell fan art last night and I thought you might appreciate it, if you haven't seen it already.)

lol That is so weird. Magical disappearing comments.

Yay!! \o/ I'm so glad that's what you were looking for. I figured there had to be some sort of maps online with one of the city departments ^_^

You're very welcome, my dear! (zomg he is so pretty - I had not seen that one before. I definitely need to bust out my games again. And say hey to Baco for me!)
