Postcard - Seattle, Washington

"University of Washington at game time. University of Washington Stadium -- Home of the Huskies. With a seating capacity of 58,000, the Stadium's open end overlooks Lake Washington and the Cascade Mountains beyond. Five thousand fans travel to football games via boats, which dock on the Lake Washington perimeter of the campus."

1970s.

Postcard - Seattle, Washington

"Evergreen Point Bridge, spanning Lake Washington, is the longest floating span in the world. It has an over-all length of 5.93 miles and a floating section of 7,578 ft. This route leads to the Cascade Mountains seen in the background."

1970s. Today it is called "Governor Albert D. Rosellini Floating Bridge-- Evergreen Point," and at age 50 is getting too old to maintain.

I like the way to top postcard edge contour sort of matches the peaks of the Cascades.

To the right of Denny (street in center) is a portion of metropolitan Seattle and a few of the new sky-scrapers. Snow-capped Cascade Mountains in the distance."

1970s.

Postcard - Seattle, Washington

"Waterfront, Seattle, Washington with the Space Needle and the Cascade Mountains catching the skyline."

In the 1970s, man. The Best Decade. Well, at least if you were 20-something at the time.
