Pictures by Rollin Caughney and Augustus Koch
Rollin Caughney's 1909 bird's-eye view of Seattle's Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition shows domed pavilions, fountains and evergreens beside Lake Washington, with hazy hills beyond. Those fair grounds later became the campus of the University of Washington. For someone who loves Seattle, or calls it home.
