Postcard - Olympia, Washington

[Click on image to enlarge]

"State Capitol Group, Olympia, Washington. Capitol Lake at right."

From the early 1960s or 1959 at the earliest. The Capitol Campus has not yet jumped across Capitol Way and displaced all those homeowners. The Capitol Park Apartments (gone now for over 4 decades) can be seen on the left edge.

This postcard is a frightening reminder of the close proximity of the Fetid Lake of Doom to our center of government here in Washington.
