It’s #NationalParkWeek! From our @wastatepatrol records is this 1928 photograph of U.S. Secretary of War Dwight F. Davis (standing) visiting Mount Rainier National Park at the start of the summer season.
Happy School Bus Driver Appreciation Day! A shout-out to all the school bus drivers, past and present, for taking care of those kids during the school year. #SchoolBusDriverAppreciationDay 🚍 📷 School van with Irene Marty, driver, ca 1914. Kettle Falls, WA.
Happy Earth Day! 🌎🌱 Commemorating the first Earth Day, April 22, 1970, WA Gov. Dan Evans speaks to Lewis and Clark High School students. He tells them what they can do to enhance their environment and preserve natural resources for the use and enjoyment of future generations.
The Seattle World’s Fair, also known as the Century 21 Exposition, opened on this day in 1962. Designed to give spectators a view of the future, it also left Seattle with an impressive legacy, including Space Needles, Monorails, and pedicabs races!
WA Governor Albert D. Rosellini at the controls of the @SeattleMonorail a day after its christening, 62 years ago today on April 19, 1962. The Century 21 Exposition opened two days later on April 21 and would draw almost 10 million visitors to #Seattle.
Happy #NationalWorkZoneAwarenessWeek! If you have ever wondered how the @wsdot applied a center line stripe onto our state highways in 1936, here you go. Crews were likely able to cover no more than 10 miles a day. #Orange4Safety #NWZAW
Clearing snow at Snoqualmie Pass, April 16, 1921. That year, 8 miles of snow averaging 8' deep and 12' wide were cleared using a specially designed 3 ½-yard dipper on a Bucyrus shovel. 📷 @wsdot photograph, Washington State Archives.
Historic traffic report: Watch for construction near Tacoma. 📷 Construction on the Pacific Avenue interchange on the #Tacoma Freeway, July 1966. Work on the exchange started in 1959 by the state Highways Department and was considered the most complex interchange in the state.
April is Records and Information Management Month! WA Gov. Jay Inslee signed this proclamation, recognizing that the management of public records, information, and data is critical to every government agency for effective and efficient operations. #RIMMonth
75 years ago today on April 13, 1949, a violent #earthquake rattled the Pacific Northwest and Olympia, causing significant damage to the Capitol Campus. Damage to the Legislative Building’s stone lantern atop the dome required replacement by a lighter metal replica. #waleg
On April 12, 1985, State Senate Resolution 1985-37 declared April 12 as LOUIE LOUIE DAY in Washington. "Almost Live" host Ross Shafer instigated the campaign to get "Louie, Louie" as the official state song, but traditionalists weren't budging from "Washington, My Home." #waleg
Happy #NationalPetDay! 🐶 We're celebrating with pix of some of the beloved "first dogs" who have resided at the Governor's Mansion (and the Governor's Office) in Olympia.
Despite a plea from Sen. Jim McDermott, on April 3, 1987, the state Senate voted to have artist Alden Mason’s colorful abstract murals removed from the Senate Chambers. Commissioned in 1979 and installed in 1981, the murals now hang in the Centralia College library. #waleg
Happy Eclipse Day 🌑🌕! Wishing everyone in the path of totality a clear view of the solar eclipse. In WA, we will be at about 20 percent totality, down a lot from our 92 percent in 2017. Here's some eclipse watchers with their protective eye-wear on the Capitol Campus.
Today is National Beer Day, so we pulled this Olympia Brewery advertisement the company had to submit for approval from the Liquor Control Board. #ItsTheWater
Credit to the dedicated photographers, including Alfred G. Simmer, who hauled their camera equipment up the 502' suspension towers to document the 1939-1940 construction of the Tacoma Narrows Bridge. #GallopingGertie #ArchivesHashtagParty #ArchivesSnapshot
This #ArchivesSnapshot shows @wastatepatrol Chief Robert Landon at the Mt. St. Helens Lodge on Spirit Lake with innkeeper Harry Truman. Landon made a last attempt to persuade Truman to evacuate. He failed and the volcano erupted the next day on May 18, 1980. #ArchivesHashtagParty
By late April 1980, scientists were observing a growing bulge on Mount St. Helen’s northern face. WA Gov. Dixy Lee Ray called out the @wastatepatrol and @WANationalGuard to set up roadblocks around a designated “Red Zone" five miles around the volcano. #ThrowbackThursday

Fun fact: In Indiana, school attendance wasn't mandatory for children ages 8-14 until 1897 – one year after Earl Geisler was born. 🏫 Geisler, the son of German immigrants, went to a German school and used this slate for classes each Saturday. He wasn't a fan of school.
