Great points being made about the murals. I posted a rather odd location here once, the Bremerton Naval Station Library. It has a gorgeous mural dating from the 30's to 50's with topless wahines and sailors in a tropical paradise. I left there in 95 or so and have long worried that political correctness in the military will have it painted over due to the topless Polynesians. I believe anyone can get a pass to go to the library there. I hope one of our WA members will photograph it some time. Bremerton is about 40 min's from Seattle and had some tiki apt's as well.

Wow! Somebody go there, quick, and check and document this before it's gone!
And maybe check which Tiki apartments are still intact. I heard the Kona Village (BOT p.226) is gone (or de-tikied?). But what about the Tongaroa (BOT p.219) ? And then there was the Polynesia...

Makes me wonder if this Navy town had other Polynesian pop features in public buildings...

Someone photograph and post that Library mural please!
