A Seattle Green Lake trolley conductor and passengers with flu masks, October 1918. A little over a year from when this photo was taken, a Green Lake trolley with more than 100 passengers aboard jumped the track, killing one and injuring 70 others. The Green Lake trolley line is now Green Lake Way North.
The 39th Regiment marches down 2nd Ave. with their flu masks on, passing Cheasty’s Haberdashery, ca. October/November 1918.
A group of Seattle men line up to receive their influenza vaccines, ca. November 1918. Seattle, like several other cities, placed great emphasis on a public vaccination campaign as a way of halting the spread of the disease. Unfortunately, vaccines at the time were useless.
