Ship's interiors. This view is part of the luxurious living quarters of the fishing boat, "Sea Royal," currently undergoing ship trials. Cultured stone bulkheads by a Kent firm are decorated with life-like plants and are part of the entry way to this red-and-gold accented captain's room. Velvet drapes and valances and decorated mirrors along with the thick red carpeting convey an elegant atmosphere. The "Sea Royal" was built by Tacoma Boatbuilding and launched on November 11, 1972. Color photograph ordered by Tacoma Boatbuilding. (TNT 4-1-73, Tahoman insert, p. 8)

Ship's quarters. Luxurious quarters aboard the 225-foot tuna seiner, "Sea Royal," featured an oversized stuffed red sofa, leather chairs, large writing desk and red wall-to-wall carpeting. An ornate built-in chess set is already ready for players. These were the quarters of ship captain, Manuel Andrade, whose wife helped in decorating. She had ordered the furniture shipped from California in order that they might match the furnishings in the captain's own home. Captain Andrade was able to entertain guests while in port in this beautiful setting. The "Sea Royal" was launched by Tacoma Boatbuilding on November 11, 1972, and was undergoing sea trials in late December prior to her release to her owners, Vivian Ann Fisheries Corporation.

Ship's galley. Resembling more a cozy restaurant than a ship's gallery was the dining area for the crew of the tuna seiner, "Sea Royal." The large kitchen was equipped with modern appliances including two large refrigerators. Crew members could sit comfortably on padded, cheerfully decorated chairs. The cultured stone bulkheads in the galley, along with stone in the owner's suite, was manufactured by a local Kent business. The "Sea Royal" was built by Tacoma Boatbuilding for Vivian Ann Fisheries Corporation and launched on November 11, 1972. At the time of the above photograph, she was undergoing ship trials.

Captain's quarters. Surprisingly, this is not the luxurious living room of a contemporary home but living quarters found within the "Sea Royal," the 225-foot tuna seiner built by Tacoma Boatbuilding. An ornate white electric fireplace, large wooden bar with upholstered stools, red leather chairs and oversized stuffed Spanish decor sofa resting on rich, red wall-to-wall carpeting present a picture that is a far cry from former sterile ship conditions. The "Sea Royal" was launched on November 11, 1972, and was undergoing sea trials about the time of the above December 28th photograph. Color photograph ordered by Tacoma Boatbuilding.

Washington Mutual Savings Bank building. Washington Mutual Savings Bank entered the Pierce County market by establishing a branch at Sixth & Mildred in December of 1972. Local architect Robert Billsbrough Price designed the single story building using a new brickwork technique. Rather than having individual bricks laid in place by hand, Mr. Price decided to have entire brick walls and column piers prefabricated, cut to fit and later erected on the foundation. Space would also be allowed for a 44-car parking lot. Fitzpatrick-McIntyre were the general contractors of the $750,000 project. Photograph ordered by Washington Mutual Savings Bank.

Interior view of Seattle-First National Bank Highland Hills branch, taken on day of bank dedication, December 9, 1972. The bank has yet to open formally for business but this is the view that customers would see when they walked through the large glass doors of the contemporary designed bank. There is a feeling of openness with the lack of cubicles or cages and the use of "natural" earthtones in the decor. Sea-First had moved its Sixth Ave. branch from Sixth & "L" to the Highland Hills area on Sixth. There would be 3,720 sq. feet of bank space in the brick and cedar building. Color photograph ordered by Seattle-First National Bank. (TNT 4-30-72, D-12- article on new bank plans)

Interior of new Seattle-First National Bank Highland Hills branch. This appears to be prior to opening hours at the new Sixth Ave. location of Seattle-First National Bank on December 9, 1972. Behind the counter is plenty of desk space, room enough for a typewriter and several adding machines. Tables and chairs to the left side of the room are probably for loan officers to conduct business. A sign outside the building points customers to the "Firstbank Cash Machine;" Seattle-First was the first to employ ATM machines in Pierce County where access to cash was possible 24 hours a day.

Lobby and registration desk area of unnamed hotel. Sign above the registration counter points to the hotel's restaurant. The unusual heavy ceiling and nearby pillar plus the proximity of a set of stairs presents a tight, closed-in appearance. Photograph was taken on November 22, 1972, on behalf of Western Union, Seattle. There is a possibility that this lobby and registration desk may have been part of the Olympus Hotel, as the hotel was also featured in another photograph in the same series. TPL-6426
