This photo shows business is brisk at L.F. Stetson Sr.'s general store in Lake Forest Park on a winter day in 1924. The store, located at the intersection of Victory Boulevard (Old Brick Road/Bothell Way/SR-522) and what will become Ballinger Way, was just west of what is now Kenmore city limits, and serviced customers in Lake Forest Park and Kenmore, on their way to Seattle.

By this time, the Brick Road (now Bothell Way/SR-522) had been renamed Victory Boulevard after the Great War (now World War I). The curve in the road visible in the distance is in what is now Kenmore western city limits; Kenmore's downtown, already present, is off camera to the right; if you look carefully, you can spot the gap in the trees marking Cat's Whiskers Road (61st Avenue NE). Uplake would be laid out 25 years later, on the hill visible in photograph centre.
