Bellingham Washington Mt Olympus Blue Glacier 1935 Postcard White Border Posted

This 1935 postcard depicts the Blue Glacier on Mount Olympus in Washington’s Olympic Mountains, highlighting one of the Pacific Northwest’s most dramatic alpine ice formations during the white border postcard era.

Scenic glacier postcards became increasingly popular in the early automobile tourism period as railroads, national parks, and regional publishers promoted the rugged landscapes of the American West. Washington’s Olympic Peninsula attracted travelers seeking wilderness scenery, with glaciers, mountain valleys, and dense forests frequently reproduced in vividly tinted postcard imagery.

The card presents a striking close-up view of the Blue Glacier flowing through steep mountain terrain beneath a glowing sky. Strong surface textures within the ice field emphasize the glacier’s crevasses and frozen ridges, while the hand-colored printing enhances the dramatic atmosphere associated with early twentieth-century landscape postcards. The postcard was posted in 1935 and features the white border stock common to cards produced during that decade.
