Washington State Archives.
As part of a King County Assessor's Office program, all buildings in the
county were photographed in the late 1930's and early 1940's. In this
photograph, taken Feb. 19, 1940, more changes to the hotel have occurred. An
additional door has been added next to the right side windows, the porch posts
have been removed and replaced with rods anchoring the marquee to the top of the
buildings, the cafe is now Issaquah 10 cent Store and the log tavern has been
built along side of the dime store. A new sign also advertises the hotel. The
hotel building now contains 25 rooms, three sinks, three bath tubs on legs and
six toilets.
