Description

Index Washington Index Road Cascade Mountains Snohomish Cty. RPPC Postcard 32767. Index Washington Index Road Cascade Mountains Snohomish County RPPC Postcard 32767 This Real Photo Postcard shows a rural stretch of the Index Road near Index, Snohomish County, Washington, with a dirt roadway winding through dense forest and early utility poles lining the route, while steep, rugged Cascade Mountain peaks rise in the background. The handwritten caption on the image reads “On the Index Road,” and the photographer credit “Van Olinda Photo” appears on the front, confirming a locally produced real photo view. The scene captures the Skykomish River valley area east of Everett, where the Index Road historically served logging, mining, and small mountain communities in the western Cascades. Tall evergreens, exposed rock faces, and the primitive road surface reflect early twentieth-century travel conditions in this mountainous region before modern highway improvements. The reverse shows a divided back with an AZO Stamp Box that dates production of this postcard from 1910-1930 , consistent with real photo postcard production, reinforcing the authenticity of this Northwest landscape view prized by collectors of Washington State history, Cascade Mountain scenery, early roads, and regional real photo postcards.
