MOHAI's Seattle & King County Images
 

This group of more than 4,000 images focuses on Seattle and King County and runs from the 1860s to the 1980s. These are part of the King County Snapshots project, a collaboration between 12 area organizations (click  link below) made possible with a major grant to MOHAI from the Institute for Museum and Library Services.

These images are only a tiny fraction of MOHAI's holdings (which presently number upwards of two million).
