Hurrah! Welcome back!
Indeed, missed the occasional fix of an old photo, a good day to begin a morning.
A more recent picture of the building is available on a short video at the website of Pioneer Association of the State of Washington: http://www.wapioneers.org/
The site lives!
I always wondered about the Pioneers building. I walk by it all the time and am fascinated that it is a museum!
interesting little frame houses to the south of the building – maybe beached houseboats? Madison Park is a little ritzier now.
That’s interesting to see across the lake.
There wasn’t much on the east side of Lake Washington in those days. I had a great aunt and uncle who had a little old farm north of Kirkland someplace, and it took forever to get there. By the way, the car partially obscured by the tree on the right is a Kaiser.
