Mt. Rainier postcards
The Seattle area is extremely unique. I love this area. GREAT scenery, and friendly people. I hope to spent more quality time in the area sometime.
The postcard on top is a beautiful old linen card sent in the mail in 1954!
It reads:
Four hundred square miles of beautiful National Park playground encircles Mount Rainier. "the Mountain that was God," according to Indian legend. This towering 14,408 foot peak is exceeded by only two mountains in the United States. Mt. Rainier bears a greater number of glaciers than any mountain in this country.
The bottom postcard is a a bit newer and also shows the Space Needle!
