Driving On WA SR-101 South In 1982 (Hoquiam, Aberdeen)

Back in 1982, The Washington State Department of Transportation drove South on SR-101 and recorded video to document the highway. This was part of a project that photographed/videotaped the states highways every couple of years. This video now resides at The Washington State Archives who were kind enough to share it.

Love seeing these earlier videos from the ‘80s. I wonder where 15-year-old Kurt Cobain was when this was filmed. I know at some point he was shuffling between relatives in Monte, Aberdeen, and Hoquiam.

Bill's XL Bakery. The best.

Sambo's was still there, a few months later, all of their locations changed to Denny's.

coming over the bridge, it's weird not seeing the Mcdonalds on the left and the YMCA on the right

This is the Aberdeen/Hoquiam I remember.
