Description

BW photo of waves crashing into houses during a storm - October 21, 1934 Text from back "Waves were thrown higher than the two story houses along Beach Drive in the west section of Seattle when a 70 mile an hour wind churned up Puget Sound on October 21. This graphic photo shows the fury of the gale as it lashed waves against the battered seawall, tossing thick spray high above the houses. The storm claimed at least 17 lives in Washington and Oregon, blew down many buildings and wrecked both large and small boats." storm Text dated 10-23-34
