Phew, I photographed it in July '94, glad I got there in time. All the Tikis in the area were pretty much the same long and slender style, and carved from fir (since needle trees are more common up there than palm trees :) ). I wonder who the carver was, he must have been local. (Also, Tacoma has the Hawaiian Village (Barney West Tikis, BOT p.217/227), and the Tiki Apartments.)
