Been digging around for awhile trying to find a good shot of the Polynesia sign that was by Alaska Way without any luck. What I've found is very interesting to me. The original sign was oval and on a pole that flared at the top and this pole may have been painted with a decorative pattern. Beside the sign pole is what looks like a carved log pole (a tiki maybe?).


This is from Dustys, Ye Olde Curiosity Shop postcard guessing the 60's.

This next shot is from 1965 when Skagit Belle sternwheeler sank beside the pier.

Lastly from the 70's the original sign and pole is gone replaced by a rectangular one but the carved pole is still there in the background.

Any help would be welcome, my wife is going to try to get the web source photo data to try to clear up the pictures, until then...

aloha, tikicoma
