With this recent “heat wave” gripping Seattle (how’d everyone enjoy sleeping the night of that near 100 degree day?) I thought it wise to show a very refreshing past postcard.
And with that in mind, it’s a stormy Lake Washington card sent in 1913. Looks ripe for a swim right about now, don’t you think? It’s a pretty ominous take on hand tinting, showing that the postcard color choices were at times, err, creative. And just look at that text — the most shocking part being that people in Seattle danced!
The rock shows I’ve attended recently at
Neumo’s have been dance-free.
Dear Clara,
Just a few lines to let you know I am fine and dandy & am enjoying myself.
We are having fun going to dances have 3 or 4 every week.
Why don’ t you wri
te.

Past Post: Stormy Lake Washington 1913…
Great post. Thanks! I’ll add a link to your post….
It’s a shame people are no longer “dandy” like they used to be. Those were the good old days.
My girlfriend, the lovely and talented Anna, informs me that she is indeed, at this moment, dandy. Comma. Comma.
Cliffe
I’m dandy too! LOL!
