SALMON DERBY

SALMON DERBY AT WESTPORT

Beaming winners of a Salmon Derby at Westport, Washington, display their whopping catch. Westport is one of the busiest sport-fishing locales in the nation where, between mid-April and November, sports fishermen take some 130,000 fighting salmon. Additional information about a vacation for the whole family can be obtained by writing the Department of Commerce and Economic Development, Olympia, Washington.

Gonna take that salmon!

APPLE HARVEST TIME in the State of Washington. Orchards located throughout the State add to the scenic splendor.

FISH VIEWING ROOM

FISH VIEWING ROOM, ROCKY REACH DAM
Columbia River, Washington

This room, 14’ x 40’, is located alongside the fish ladder. Through five windows visitors can watch salmon, steelhead, trout and some eight other species of fish. This unique viewing room is just one of the many attractions to be found in North Central Washington.

I can’t wait to see the other many attractions.
