Description: Includes a most excellent vintage street map of Seattle and road map of the larger Puget Sound Metro Area (including Tacoma to the south, Everett to the north and Bremerton to the west), along with a quick, boosterish guide to the metropolitan region (then home to just 1.7 million people, as opposed to 4.2 million today (from the Greater Seattle Chamber of Commerce, circa 1980); an equally excellent vintage boating chart for the Puget Sound & Strait of Juan de Fuca, as well as the Seattle coastline (the city is built on two peninsulas separated by the Lake Washington Ship Canal), and the Pacific coast, from Alaska to Mexico (from Texaco/Rand McNally, 1970); a vintage foldout map & guide for Washington State Ferries, the public transit system that connects communities on opposite sides of the Puget Sound, the scenic inland sea (now sometimes called the Salish Sea, the native inhabitants’ name for it) that defines the region, from Vancouver, Canada down to Olympia, the Washington state capital (from Washington State Ferries, circa 1970); and a trio of colorful vintage travel brochures for Seattle from the early 1970’s, when the city was developing a nascent tourism industry built around some of the infrastructure created by hosting the World’s Fair of 1962 (including the iconic Space Needle and adjacent Seattle Center): one for Poverty Dick’s (a local budget tour operator, from 1970), one for Food Circus at Seattle Center (from 1974) and another one for Seattle Center itself (from 1973).
