Over 400 vintage postcards provide a sweeping historical view of the Washington Coast, from the mouth of the Columbia River to the San Juan Islands. In-depth stories of historical maritime Washington complement the images, for a journey up the coast and back. Scenes of shipwrecks, beach bathers, and surfmen tells the story of Washington State's coast through the ages. Aberdeen, Orcas Island, Olympia National Park, Ocean Shores, and Diamond Point are just some of the places prominently featured. Greetings from the Washington Coast will appeal to everyone interested in Washington history, maritime history, or popular culture of the past hundred years.

Cherie Christensen was historian for the Shaw Island Historical Society and has an extensive postcard collection of the region. She lives in Shaw Island.
