Kansas City origin is the leading of 3 hypotheses. Others being Marseilles, and China in the winter of 1917.

Spanish Flu - Seattle​

A Seattle Green Lake trolley conductor and passengers with flu masks, October 1918. A little over a year from when this photo was taken, a Green Lake trolley with more than 100 passengers aboard jumped the track, killing one and injuring 70 others. The Green Lake trolley line is now Green Lake Way North.[/i]


The 39th Regiment marches down 2nd Ave. with their flu masks on, passing Cheasty’s Haberdashery, ca. October/November 1918.[/i]


A group of Seattle men line up to receive their influenza vaccines, ca. November 1918. Seattle, like several other cities, placed great emphasis on a public vaccination campaign as a way of halting the spread of the disease. Unfortunately, vaccines at the time were useless.[/i]
