Wispy clouds race by dark blue skies in mid-October, 1972, in Tacoma's downtown business district. The temperature, as shown on Puget Sound National Bank's gauge, is a brisk 45 degrees. This view of Pacific Avenue looking north shows many of the city's long established buildings: (r-l) Tacoma Art Museum in the former home of the National Bank of Washington; Puget Sound National Bank with its prominent spire; Peoples department store; Washington Building with the striking Bank of California red neon sign; Bank of California, Security (Provident) Building and the Olympus Hotel. Color photograph ordered by De Vac Chamberlain, Seattle.
