This image of the construction of the temporary Naval Training Station was taken on October 8, 1918. The training camp was built by Puget Sound Bridge and Dredging Company (later Lockheed Shipbuilding and Construction Company), a major contributor to the construction of the Pacific Northwest. Many of their projects were documented by noted Seattle photographer Frank H. Nowell, whose shadow can be seen at the bottom of the frame. The two buildings in the background were built for the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition in 1909; the Washington State Building is on the right edge of the frame, and the Forestry Building is behind it.
