Vintage Washington Ephemera

Vintage Washington Ephemera – The Evergreen State in Print

Discover the vibrant Pacific Northwest through Adirondack Retro’s Vintage Washington Ephemera collection—featuring original vintage magazine advertisements and authentic paper ephemera from the early to mid-1900s. Each preserved piece captures the progress, culture, and scenic wonder of Washington State’s golden age.

Explore vintage print advertisements from Seattle’s maritime industries and the Puget Sound ferries, Tacoma’s manufacturing and shipping heritage, and Spokane’s Inland Empire expositions. See mid-century travel promotions celebrating Mount Rainier National Park, Olympic Peninsula lodges, Yakima Valley orchards, and the Columbia River hydroelectric projects that transformed the West. Each print embodies the optimism and artistry of an expanding region that balanced nature, industry, and innovation.

More than nostalgic mementos, these works serve as visual documents of American tourism, rail travel, and advertising design. From Great Northern Railway and Northern Pacific route promotions to airline and resort campaigns, each page reflects the craftsmanship and imagination of 20th-century print culture. Our museum-quality mat and frame service ensures archival preservation and sophisticated display—transforming each original advertisement or print into a timeless artifact of architectural heritage and visual culture.
