Road Tripping En Route 1966

We’re now rolling with reader submissions. Today Dan (of the super cool Portland Buildings Ads Blog) writes in with some vintage Seattle shots of his own from March 1966. You know, back when a road trip didn’t break the bank. Give the photos a look below and click for more resolution. Thanks, Dan.
I saw your Seattle World’s Fair snapshots from June 5 so I thought I’d dig mine out and send them along. I was a 15-year old in March 1966 and my friend Tom and I made the trip to Seattle with his parents in their new Oldsmobile Cutlass convertible. Two photos show the World’s Fair site and Space Needle, and one shows a Seattle panorama I’d guess taken from Alki Beach Park.

Looks like it was taken from the Admiral Way viewpoint. This would be a cool and easy one to do a then and now comparison.
