Printed on back: My pioneer home shown in the illustration, located in Pioneer Park, Puyallup, Washington, was our abiding place for many long years of sweet memory. Here some of our children were born to us and all our family grew up to manhood and womanhood, and small wonder many tender recollections remain. The ivy vine, planted forty years ago upon the birth of a child, now covers the form of the old house completely, supported by fresh framework (maintained by the city of Puyallup) which will preserve the shape of the pioneer abode long after all vestige of the original relic has disappeared. Depth of the alluvial deposit under the ivy stock 144 feet; size of ivy stock at base 9 inches in diameter.

• The streamlined ferry passing Colman Dock on one of its daily Seattle-Bremerton runs. The Kalakala's maiden voyage from Seattle was July 3, 1935, and she remained a Puget Sound workhorse and tourist attraction until 1967. In 1963, the Kalakala was voted Seattle's biggest attraction next to the Space Needle. She served as an Alaskan seafood processing plant until her return to the Seattle area in 1998 for possible renovation.

• View of the serene lake at the foot of forested mountains. Lake Crescent, located in the Olympic National Park area, is 10 miles long and over 600 feet deep. It was originally called "Lake Everett" before being rechristened in 1890 by the citizens of nearby Port Crescent. Carved out by glaciers, this is one of the deepest lakes in Washington State, and has the appearance of a fjord. Prior to the completion of the Olympic Highway in 1922, the lake was used as a transportation link between Port Townsend and the northwest Olympic Peninsula, and was travelled by steamboat.
