Car going through giant cedar stump, circa 1950

Order an Image
By about 1950, when this photographic postcard was probably made, the few remaining stumps of western Washington's gigantic trees existed only as curiosities -- something to marvel at or, in this case, drive through.

This postcard image shows a car driving through a gigantic western red cedar stump at Arlington, Washington. The sign above the hole in the tree tells visitors that this relic of a vanquished forest was preserved by Snohomish County settlers in 1922.
