This 1925 photo shows where streetcars made their turns. Two streetcar lines connected at California and Alaska, forming a “junction,” giving the area its name. Streetcars were a major mode of mass transit in the early 1900s, but there was also a 5-cent ferry that transported people between West Seattle and Downtown Seattle.
