Postcard - Olympia, Washington

"Olympia, Washington. The State Capitol buildings may be seen at right center. Mt. Rainier stands as sentinal [i.e. sentinel] in the distance."

I figure this postcard photo was taken between 1959 and 1965. In the far right of the photo the Washington State Library (opened 1959) is visible. The Capitol Center Building, also known locally as "The Mistake by the Lake" is not visible. It was built in 1965.

The Fetid Lake of Doom had yet to be the home of caimans.
