FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

I-5 Trip Down Memory Lane

Seattle, Washington (December 9, 2001) - Have you ever wondered what it was like before the I-5 freeway ran through Seattle or the Seattle Center opened back in 1961? Well, then, take a trip down memory lane.

Internet site PershingPhotos.com was launched today, its fundamental purpose to make available a color slide photo collection numbering in the thousands. These memories were captured by one man and depict events in and around the state of Washington, particularly Seattle, over a span of his lifetime from the 1930s through the 1960s.

The website www.pershingphotos.com was the idea of another young man studying photography who found the collection to be impressive and who saw the uniqueness of the time and effort put into the photos by the creator as he identified almost each and every slide with a date and location. It is obvious that the person who originally organized this slide collection saw the value of what he was doing so that others in time would be able to enjoy what he found to be interesting at that moment.

Seattle is currently celebrating 150 years since the original settlers landed at Alki Point in 1851. This collection is a small reflection of some of the historical events and areas of interest to anyone who is familiar with our city.

Take that trip down memory lane. Stop by to see what is currently available. More pictures are being added weekly and will include pictures from parades of the past, buildings no longer in existence, as well as construction photos of some of our downtown buildings. Over time the scope of available photos will change, but its core identity will remain these one-of-a-kind pictures which you can view and also purchase at the website.

There are many sources of pictures, but you won't see these anywhere else. Take a look -- http://www.pershingphotos.com
