Queen Anne Water Tank No. 1, 1410 First Ave North, Seattle, King County, WA
Queen Anne Water Tank No. 1, completed in 1901, was Seattle`s first steel-and-concrete standpipe. The water tank operated in conjunction with the tank immediately adjacent, Queen Anne Water Tank No. 2 (built in 1904), and another Volunteer Park (built in 1906) to provide city residents with clean, pressurized water. From its location on top of Queen Anne Hill, Water Tank No. 1 served as a destination from 1900 until 1934 for Seattle residents and tourists, who could ascend to its roof and view a 360 degree view of the city from the vantage point. Designated a city landmark in 1998, Water Tank No. 1 has served as a prominent and visually striking icon of Seattle`s early municipal development.
