TYEE MOTOR INN OLYMPIA WASHINGTON VINTAGE POSTCARD.
This a really interesting greeting card type postcard. This hotel opened in 1958 and was famous for political business being conducted there. According to an October 4, 1999 article by Peter Callaghan in The (Olympia) News Tribune:
“Anyone who experienced Tumwater’s Tyee Motor Inn during its glory days uses the same description: It’s where the real business of the Legislature was done.”
“Committees may have have met in the capital office buildings. Representatives and senators performed official duties in the domed Legislative Building. But the deals were cut in the dining room, around the pool, in the bar – and sometimes in the bedrooms of the Tyee.”
This hotel was damaged due to a fire in 1970 and then again in 1972.There is a lot of history re this cute little hotel.
