Wenatchee (Images of America)
The Images of America series allows readers to explore the unique history of each city, town, or state through a collection of vintage photographs. The series covers a wide range of topics, including People, Places, Landmarks, Industries, and more. From the rugged Olympic Mountains to the bustling port city of Portland, the Pacific Northwest has a rich history that is captured in these books.
The Olympic Mountains rise up from the sea, with moss-draped forests growing right to the water's edge. Glaciers crown the steep slopes, while alpine meadows and lush valleys teem with a diverse array of wildlife, including elk, deer, cougars, and bears. Though Seattle is a relatively young city, much of its short past has already been lost, but not forgotten.
For more than a century, the Pacific Northwest has been making music history. This new retrospective features rare photographs that evoke the musical memories of days gone by. Meanwhile, in southern Oregon, the towering Mount Mazama has been a dominant feature of the landscape for more than half a million years, with periodic eruptions spreading pumice, ash, and cinders for miles around.
As the only maximum-security prison in the state, the Oregon State Penitentiary (OSP) has housed some of the most violent criminals on the West Coast, including the notorious serial killers Charley Panzram and Jerry Brudos. Portland, on the other hand, is not only the site of numerous marine terminals along the Willamette and Columbia Rivers, but also home to much of our American maritime history.
The Images of America series offers readers a unique opportunity to explore the rich and diverse history of the Pacific Northwest, from the natural wonders of the Olympic Mountains to the cultural and industrial legacies of cities like Seattle and Portland. Whether you're a long-time resident or a curious visitor, these books provide a fascinating glimpse into the past and present of this remarkable region.
