Fantastic site. I am helping a friend who is purchasing a property along Ferry Avenue SW in West Seattle directly along the West Seattle Cable Company Route. Are there construction pictures of cutting and grading and details of how they dealt with the steep slope for the line to and from the West Seattle Ferry? Where would we find these? Thanks so much—for the reply and your incredible historic site. Are you related to the engineer Thompson? James Lalonde/Seattle
Hi James. I'm glad you have enjoyed my site. I am not related to LM Thompson. There may be construction photos of the West Seattle line. Photos in general are pretty scarce. Have you checked with local historical societies and libraries? I would be interested to hear if you find anything.
