Checking Into Hotel Paris 1908

A couple months ago, VS reader Deran Ludd sent me this curious photo. It’s unclear just how luxurious the accomodations were at Hotel Paris.

Also, check out the woman with the weaponry doing her best Annie Oakley.

An oddity I have never been sure about.

The front is that picture, but on the back it

is mailed from Snoqualmie on July 4, 1908.

I know Snoqualmie Pass didn’t get paved until the mid/late 1930s, so I suppose this could be an actual photo of some place up on the pass

?
