DescriptionSeattle - King County Courthouse - 1900.jpg
The 1890 King County Court House at Seventh Avenue and Jefferson Street on Seattle, Washington's First Hill (which became known as "Profanity Hill" for the miserable climb up from downtown). This was the courthouse until 1917, and was torn down in the 1930s. The location would now be roughly between Harborview Medical Center and Interstate 5.
