Happy Presidents’ Day, everyone! Hopefully you’re having a relaxing day while paying homage to Washington, Lincoln, or Taft. Wait, what? In order to stay on topic I dug up this photo of Seattle Mayor J.D. Braman greeting President Lyndon B. Johnson at Seattle-Tacoma airport in 1966. Check it out.
In other news, Vintage Seattle was destroyed in the Blarch Badness Blog Contest. “It seems as if Accidental Hedonist is losing in a poll against a history blog! This doesn’t seem right,” said Kate Hopkins of Accidental Hedonist before asking readers for more votes. A history blog! In the end, this meddling history had trouble competing with pork — in all its splendor.

I still have to work today. It’s not really a President’s Day celebration if you don’t eve get the day off.
