4, , SE SEAL? 1921 1 9 T IS with the realization of an exceptional opportunity that Broadway J High School has devoted her Sealth of 1921 toward the advancement of the fair city of which it is a part. Grateful, indeed, that it is priv- iledgcd to assume such an obligation and hopeful, with the spirit which con- siders service the foremost aim, that its efforts have not been in vain. Co-operation, alone, has achieved the result-just as co-operation, alone, will bring the fairest name to 'iSeattle, the Seaport of Success. VVorthy and unselfish endeavor on the part of those responsible for the various phases of the work has made possible the publication. Able assist- ance, without thought of interference or ill manner, has enabled the Staff to proceed with the task to the finish. It was not necessary to entitle the Sealth of 1921 with a special sig- nificance of the spirit prompting its issue-it was alone necessary to call it Sealth, the old Indian name for Seattle. A deeper significance of the existing motive is apparent in this title than could be conveyed by any lengthier inscription. It is the hope of the School that the business, commercial, and finan- cial interests of tl1e city will be so inspired with the desire to do good and accomplish great things for Seattle, that the very force of their example will stand as a model for all to heed and will cause every citizen to boost with all his ability and initiative. The schools, the birthplace of citizen- ship and patriotism, are heart and soul with the spirit at all times and are prepared to back ite-no matter at what cost. It is the sincere hope that this volume may be of service to the city in whatever capacity it may be presented. ' Page Sin'

SEATTLE THE SEAPORT OF SUCCESS By ROBERT S. BOYNS, PnEs1m:N'r SEATTLE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE AND COMMERCIAL CLUB The race for shipping supremacy on the Pacific Coast has resolved itself into community development of port facilities. Private terminals have been supplemented by extensive and costly public ternzinals, with the result that Pacific Coast harbors, youngsters in the sense of commercial age, are striving not only to provide facilities for present commerce, but to build in advance of them. Eastern ports, notably Boston, New York, and Baltimore, have, during the recent months, when an effort has been made to line up public opinion back of extensive public waterway improve- ments, pointed to Seattle as the model port in the country. Seattle, young- est metropolitan city in the nation, is so regarded because of the progress made since 1911 in port development. The ocean terminals constructed under the direction of the Port Com- mission of the Port of Seattle are now looked upon as models by many of the leading harbor experts of the world. There are three principal reasons why the port of Seattle terminals are so judged: First, The great size of the ocean piers, second, the ample railroad trackage located on the piers, and, third, the installation and use of a large amount of mechanical handling equipment. Private enterprise in port development has not lagged and terminals owned by individuals and corporations add to the fine facilities provided by the Port Commission. Situated on the largest land-locked body of water in the United States -Puget Sound-the harbor of Seattle could ask for little which Nature has not conferred. The main harbor, Elliott Bay, and two great fresh water lakes, Lakes Union and Washington, are connected by the largest ship canal in the United States. This, with an artificial waterway-the Duwamish, extending through the industrial heart of the city at the south -makes Seattle practically an island, similar to Manhattan Island. So here, as in New York, every side of the city fronts upon navigable water -a harbor with a total water frontage, capable of development, two hun- dred miles in e.vtent. The fact that Seattle is the only major port in the United States in which no dredging has to be done for ship channels is an asset of prime importance. When one grasps the fact that this magnificent harbor is nearer to the vast storehouse of wealth and potential consuming power of two-thirds of the earthis inhabitants than any other port in the United States, then the significance of Seattle as a great national asset is revealed. Now that .the Pacific looms large as the theatre of vast world trade, the finger of destiny points to Seattle as the city that will render not only to this country, but to the Orient, conspicuous service.
