This photo, sent to us by the State Archives courtesy of the Susan Parish Photograph Collections, shows the Capitol Lake swimming area in Olympia in 1968. With the record-breaking heat that Western Washington has experienced the past week, this might have been a very popular place to be if it still existed. While this Capitol Lake swim spot is long gone, many Olympia-area kids go to the nearby spray park to cool off nowadays.
