Our State Digital Archives has thousands of cool, classic photos of everything Washington, especially its people and places.

This shot features a view of downtown Spokane from South Hill in 1908. The photo is part of the collection of Spokane City Parks, Lantern Slides, 1900-1930. The collection includes 123 glass lantern slides showing the city of Spokane and Spokane parks during that era. Most of these images were used in Spokane promotional material.
