Photographer and date unknown. I don't know a great deal about cars but these look like cars from the 1950s or 1950s. Funny, Guye Peak hasn't changed.

Looks like an early 50's rig or two in there.

It's pretty safe to say that if we take all of man kinds accumulated knowledge, we still don't know everything. So, I hope you understand why I don't believe you know everything. But then again, maybe you do.

I'm pretty new here so sorry if everyone knows about this, but do you ever search the digital image collections at the UW libraries web site (the link is on the library home page)? Thousands of very cool historic photos from the northwest, like this:
Snoaqualmie Pass 1913

Snoqualmie Pass 1913 Photo

Kiliki,
Thanks for posting that photo. I printed it out and am going to add it to my collection. What a great picture.
Here's another one I picked up at the antique store for mere cents ..... I'm pretty sure this is Stevens Pass and was probably taken in the 1950s. The photos I purchased are not in great condition but I was able to heighten the contrast a bit. Sorry if the pixels are showing but the prints are pretty small.

The UW site has so many great pics, I've spent hours and hours looking at them. I did my Master's Thesis on female mountaineers in the early 20th century after looking at some of their amazing old Mountaineers photos, showing women on top of Mt. Rainier and thinking, "who the **** were these women and what were they doing there?"
Really, if you've never checked out the site you should:

Here are a couple more of my random faves:

Great pics on this site!!! I found a picture of an apartment that a friend lived in last year, it looks the same as it did in 1909...
In 1909...
