Road Warrior Posted March 23, 2013 Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 (edited) Hello everyone! I am new to the group and wanted to say hi. I am glad to be part of this forum as it is great to be with like minded people who enjoy the history of the old highways. I am very fond of the Pacific Highway and since I live in Washington I am interested in the routes it took in my state. I have learned a great deal from this site and I enjoy the new discoveries posted here. I look forward to share and view many more discoveries. I wasn't sure what to start with so I picked this photo I took last summer from Columbia St and 1st Ave. I think it is the last sign in Washington that shows SR99 as US Hwy 99.

Keep the Show on the Road! Posted March 23, 2013 Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 Curt, Welcome!! Great photo! Should I assume that is in Seattle? I recall seeing a US99 sign on a post in southern Oregon a few years back, but I suspected it was not the "real thing." Your's definitely is the genuine article. Dave Keep the Show on the Road! PS. Curt and I have communicated by e-mail for the last couple of weeks so I know he will be a great addition to the gang here. He is very knowledgeable and has a great sense of history. Welcome, again!

Road Warrior Posted March 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 I'm sorry. I forgot to say that it is in Seattle. Just drive down Columbia St toward 1st Ave and you will see this sign. It is very veiwable via google street view. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaleS Posted March 30, 2013 Report Share Posted March 30, 2013 (edited) Yeah, that is an old one. I can remember when a lot of the signs had reflecters, most are gone now. Dale Edited March 30, 2013 by DaleS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
