An unidentified couple stands along the railroad tracks in Tumwater, around 1910. The old Olympia Brewing Company building can be seen in the background. Much of downtown Tumwater was wiped out with the construction of I-5 in the 1960s. Photograph selected and captioned by Deborah Ross on behalf of the Olympia Historical Society and Bigelow House Museum. More information is available at olympiahistory.org.
