As far as I'm able to find out it is from the late 1930s, very early-pre war, 1940s. I picked it up years ago at the fable Fairlook Antiques that Cliffe has spoken of. It gives Seattle that glamorous deco look we've always deserved, but never quite pulled off! It's part of a series of post cards that the Northern Pacific, the rail company that was based out of Union Station? I believe there are similarly glamorous cards of the other main cities on their routes? I've got a couple other pre-war postcards of local businesses taht had a deco look. I'll dig them out at some point and send some to you Cliffe. It is a super cool card. As far as I’m able to find out it is from the late 1930s, very early-pre war, 1940s.

Interesting to note how God, with his infinite rays of light, is trying to hide behind the Smith Tower. This is one of the better images yet seen on your blog.

Any idea of the card's vintage? I love the Ballard Locks blended into Pioneer Square. Absolutely, one of the coolest images to appear yet on Vintage Seattle. Any idea of the card’s
