Scope and content
On May 31, 1926, photographer Marvin Boland paused at serene Ingle's Sandy Beach on Lake Rutledge on his way from Tacoma to Olympia. It was about an hour's drive where the motorist would drive to Lacey and then turn south on a gravel road. The Ingle's Sandy Beach resort was opened by Mr. and Mrs. W.H. Engle (both spellings were used in the News Tribune article of 6-10-26). Two rowboats, a seesaw and two tire swings are awaiting participants who could also share picnic baskets or purchase items from the tiny store nestled under the shady trees. The lakeside, with its warm, shallow waters, was ideal for a children's playground with diving board and floats provided. Beside the general store shown above, there was a separate bathhouse for men and women. Cabins and plenty of room for campers were available.
