Traveltalk’s short episode visits Seattle and nearby Washington areas, noting the city’s modest size until the 1897 gold rush spurred growth. During World I, Seattle was a major lumber‑shipping hub, sending timber through the Panama Canal to East‑Coast shipbuilders. The film also tours a Weyerhaeuser lumber camp between Longview and Tacoma and stops in Everett, where lumber fuels the growing aircraft industry.
