Postcard - Aberdeen, Washington

"Hoquiam and Aberdeen, Washington. Located on Grays Harbor, these twin cities are port of call for export of timber products to all corners of the earth. Rich in logger and sailor folklore, this area is also known as 'Gateway to the Olympics.'"

This has a 1979 date on  the reverse. Actually, Hoquiam is nowhere to be seen in this photo, although part of Cosmopolis is on the left, south of the Chehalis River.
