"The mirrored reflections in the placid Spokane River are viewed here from near the end of the Division Street bridge. A matchless setting for a revitalized city on the move. New and remodeled stores, skywalks, parking buildings, a convention center, and the impressive Riverfront Park make Spokane, Washington, an exciting place to live and to visit."
Probably later half of the 1970s.

Morty Comix # 2593
Morty Comix #2593 was tucked under a table at a Tumwater, Washington fast food outlet. At this particular place it is my goal to hit every designated dining spot in this establishment, which amounts to a real caper since I only go there during the busy lunch hour. So far I believe I have left at least six Morty Comix there. The spot has been illustrated by a planetary zoomout.

Favorite Movie Quotes: Slaughterhouse-Five
Postcard - Seattle, Washington
"Olympic Hotel, Seattle, Wash."
From the 1920s (when the Hotel was brand new) judging by the cars in front
The Olympic still stands today as a Seattle icon
Favorite Movie Quotes: Mystery Men
"You must be like the wolf pack, not like the six-pack."
I know this movie was panned, but I thought it was superb
Postcard - Seattle, Washington
"Lake Washington Floating Bridge - World's longest bridge constructed of concrete pontoons is an engineering marvel. Constructed and financed by tolls, it is now free and carries U.S. Highway No. 10 directly east from downtown Seattle and on through Snoqualmie Pass to the east."
I'd guess this dates from 1959-1960

"The University of Washington Stadium in Seattle, home of the Huskies, has a seating capacity of 56,000. Its unique Lake Washington shore location permits access not only by conventional transportation but also by boat and seaplane. The lower campus is in the foreground and the Evergreen Point Floating Bridge in the background."

The cold grey dawn of the morning after."
