Vintage shots from days gone by!

Truth in advertising? The motel was about 10-15 minutes from where I grew up.

Friday Harbor, WA






















My favorite house in Friday Harbor, sits literally right on the water, but with a much smaller parcel of land around it.


Old cannery dock (long gone now), houses and ferry landing are there now.


Convalescent Center, later turned into a motel, with the thinnest walls imaginable between rooms.

Hi there Maggie --- Thanks for all the great north west fotos have you ever come across any of Alpenrose dairy (Beaverton ) we used to go down there quarter midget racing They had all kinds of kids sports going on in there
Thanks for taking the time to make this one of the most interesting posts Ray

 

Thank you Maggie. My wife and I visited there about three years ago. Although it has a lot of tourist traffic it feels like a small town of many decades ago. Very comfortable community. Hope to get back there someday.

Mike.
