This street does not exist today in this area. The northern blocks, from Yesler to Main, are part of Yesler Terrace, with addresses on those streets; south of there, I don't think there was an 11th Ave. S. here even in 1960 -- if there ever was.

2nd Avenue (Extension), Seattle 1960
Taken from 1960 Polk City Directory
Second Avenue
From Jackson Street to Yesler Way
[I hope I haven't screwed this up. This street is listed in the book as "2D AV", but it's clear that it's the street that is today called "Second Avenue South Ext.", or "Extension" (sometimes seen as "Extended"), not the one called "Second Avenue South", which is also in the book.
[This street runs southeast to northeast, not north to south like the others. Today it starts at 4th Ave. S., but then it started at Jackson just a short ways north. Note also that the street appears to have been numbered from south to north, where it is now numbered from north to south in accordance with all other South streets. This means these street numbers will not agree with today's. I don't think.]
[If you're unfamiliar with Seattle geography, this confusion is caused by the change in direction of all the downtown streets at Yesler, an anomaly caused by disagreements among the early settlers as to how the city should be platted (a similar discontinuity can be found north of the central downtown section, at Denny Way). If I'm not mistaken, the south portion (Pioneer Square, etc., which I'm documenting here) was platted by Doc Maynard; the central section from Yesler to Denny by Henry Yesler, and the north section, north of Denny, by Arthur Denny.]
