Postcard - Spokane, Washington

"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.

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

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
