Title
English: West Spokane Street Bridge drawbridge gears, Seattle, August 22, 1924
Description
English: From 1902 to 1917, three temporary wooden bridges were built over the west water way of the Duwamish River, connecting Harbor Island to West Seattle (annexed in 1907). The first permanent steel bridge, officially known as West Spokane Street Bridge No. 1 (North), was a low-level bascule bridge that opened on November 27, 1924, Thanksgiving Day, and was in use until 1978.

This photograph shows the drawbridge gears of the new permanent bridge in detail.

James P. Lee (1894-1963) was the City of Seattle's Engineering Department photographer from 1922-1957.
