"Washington State Capitol, Olympia, Washington. Aerial view of State Buildings showing Mount Rainier in the background."
The old Oly High School is gone, but Capitol Park Apartments remain. Meanwhile two big state buildings, the Dept. of Highways and the Employment Security Dept., have jumped across Capitol Way. Blocks and blocks of fine old homes have yet to be demolished as the Cap Campus expands. I place this around 1966-1969. The Fetid Lake of Doom, as usual, provides a hint of menace in the corner.

Postcard - Hood Canal, Washington
"Hood Canal Floating Bridge. An outstanding engineering achievement of Washington State's Department of Highway's connecting Kitsap Peninsula and Olympic Peninsula. The bridge is 20 feet above the water and 7,131 feet long. It cost $26,630,000."
This has to be pre-1977, since the Dept. of Highways changed to the Dept. of Transportation in that year. The west half of this bridge sank during a storm in 1979.
