Georgetown was a rough and tumble place in 1919. William Jones, the man standing in the first row, second from right, was one of Georgetown's original four policemen. The department was taken over by the city of Seattle in 1910 after Georgetown was annexed. Local legend has it that Georgetown police used to set up speed traps and shoot the tires off anyone caught exceeded the posted limits.

The Bee Hive Marketeria was a 1904 version of a supermarket: It sold everything from meats and produce to soap and sundries.

Georgetown was a bustling marketplace in 1928. The Bee Hive Marketeria, right, attracted shoppers who arrived by car and electric trolley. The building in the middle, The Hamilton, is still standing. The second floor was a meeting hall used for social parties, dances and political rallies.
