Lake Washington's exclusive Inglewood Country Club was largely converted to housing during World War II, serving as a rooming house for shipyard workers and enlisted men of the U.S. Navy. Use of the club had declined due to war rationing and because many of Inglewood's members were in active service, so the club was able to create sleeping quarters for 300 men. Weekly rates, $12.50 for dormitory quarters and $13.50 for rooms, included two meals a day and some membership privileges.

In this image taken in the lounge at Inglewood Golf Club in Kenmore, several "bluejackets," or U.S. Navy personnel, and shipyard men enjoy a game of bridge. The men are identified from left as N. H. Davis, Myron Scholer, Jack Stutz, J. M. Rayfield, W. A. Berg (back to camera), and Harry Mullen.
