Chapter 4: Navigating the Great Depression (1930-1941)

During the Great Depression, unemployment relief programs that had been ad hoc during earlier economic depressions became full-fledged efforts to support workers and families, often using funds from state and federal programs like the State Emergency Relief Fund and the Works Progress Administration. Some long-delayed projects were realized, including the Alaskan Way seawall and the Washington Park Arboretum.
