Rare, 1964 photos of flooding along what is now Bear Creek Shopping Center.

"I was at the King County archives last March looking for photos of the Cadman Gravel pit and found these photos of flooding along Bear Creek dated January 2, 1964. For reference, Redmond Way and the railroad tracks run parallel through the photos and cross Bear Creek just south of what is now the Bear Creek Shopping Center. The original photos were sharper -- I'm not a very good photographer so these are slightly out of focus. Let me know if these photos arrive.

  1. Susan may be able to find them, but don't sit under a tree waiting. Magnifying glasses might help...

  2. My JPEG files are much more detailed (~3000 KB) so I burned a CD and am sending them to Bob Yoder. Maybe he can put up the higher resolution versions.

  3. Did you find a higher resolution version, Susan?
