All right 1930’s fans, I think you’ll like this one. Check out this incredible art deco style abstract take on the Olympic Hotel. This 1924 built Seattle institution is still operating, as is the Sorrento Hotel (did you see the recent PI
article on it?). I’m looking to hit both soon with my camera. Anyone have any contacts at either that could give me a good tour? Regardless, click on this beauty to see more.

That is one old postcard but one great looking building.

Nice postcard! However, the Olympic Hotel is downtown at 4th and University, on the site of the original University of Washington Campus — official history here, while the Sorrento Hotel is up on First Hill, at 9th and Madison.

Ben: Yes, I’m very aware. Did my post make it sound like I was confusing the two? It was not meant to.
