Description: This is an amazing card featuring a couple seated at a table, a waitress taking their order. There is a huge window view to outside where you can see snow and other buildings This is one of my favorite postcards. The Olympia Oyster House in Olympia, Washington. Photographed by Walt Scarff. Walt Scarff’s work for The Oyster House in Olympia, Washington, captures a significant piece of the state’s culinary history. The Oyster House is known for being situated in the same building where The Olympia Oyster Company culled the native Olympia Oysters as far back as 18591. This historic location has been a cornerstone of the seafood tradition in Olympia and is celebrated for its fresh and expertly cooked seafood, including its namesake oysters2.The postcards and photographs by Scarff would have documented the evolution of this establishment, which is touted as the oldest seafood restaurant in Washington State3. His work likely provided a visual narrative of The Oyster House’s journey from an oyster shucking plant to a beloved seafood restaurant, emphasizing its motto: "The oysters you eat today slept last night at Oyster Bay"3.Such imagery not only serves as a historical record but also as a testament to the enduring legacy of The Oyster House and its role in the local culture. Scarff’s contribution through his photography would have helped preserve the memory of this iconic establishment for future generations. If you’re interested in exploring more about Scarff’s work or The Oyster House’s history, I can assist with further information.
