Olympia and Rainier [click on image to enlarge]
The reverse side of this postcard is blank. I date this in the late Ike era or in JFK period. The Pritchard Building is visible near the right corner making this no earlier than 1959. The residential area across Capitol Way is bereft of any State buildings. I'll guess this is in the timeframe of 1959-1961.
The old Olympia High School and Capitol Park Apartments can be seen. Also those grand original maples on Maple Park, which were ripped out about ten years later.
For us local boomers, if you said "Olympia and Rainier" when we were young we would assume you meant the two regional beers.
