Winged Victory Monument

Olympia, Washington

This WWI memorial is in the center of the Washington State capitol campus. In the background you can see the Insurance Building on the left and the dome of the Legislative Building on the right.

When my Mom was a young adult, ca. 1950, she was hoisted up the front of this pedestal and into the group of figures in the sculpture. Needless to say it was very late at night.

I shook hands with Gov. Rosellini, ca. 1960, as he stood in front of the state seal at the base and hosted the annual Easter egg hunt.
