Thanks to Thomas Ogle and Dean Ogle for finding this and sharing. I've ordered a higher resolution copy to see the details of the background better.
Photo is part of the Special Collections archive at the University of Washington.
Note on the photo: Harry H. Dean (November 11, 1868- December 7, 1946) was born in Iowa and was hired by the Great Northern Railway in 1885 to work in the construction of the railway through the Cascades. He later worked as an engineer on the route and continued to work for the railroad until he retired in 1939.
