The City of Sacramento is seen here still sporting the wartime gray she was painted in while ferrying workers to the shipyards during World War II. It appears that she's about to be released from her service with the navy to join the Black Ball fleet. The other ferry pictured is the Hayward. Photo courtesy of Brandon Moser.
The month of November is often a grab-bag of weather, starting off calm and often foggy before moving onto stormy weather toward the end of the month. Here the Kitsap is seen in heavy fog in a photo by Zack Heistand.
From Wikipedia...
The Lake Quinault Lodge was built in 1926 in Olympic National Forest in Washington, USA. The hotel was designed by Robert Reamer, a Seattle architect, in a rustic style reminiscent of Reamer's work at the Old Faithful Inn in Yellowstone National Park. It is a notable example of a rustic wilderness lodging, suited to its woodland environment on the southern side of the Olympic Mountains.
Design and construction
The two-story wood frame structure replaced a previous building on the site that was built by Jack Ewell for the Olson family in 1903. The Olsons sold their interest in the property to the Seaman family. In 1924 the original hotel burned. Its replacement was funded by lumberman Ralph Emerson of Hoquiam. Reamer was associated with the contractor, the Metropolitan Building Company, and the company's construction superintendent was Roy Garrison, who had previously worked with Reamer. Work started on June 9, 1926, and was complete fifty-three days later, on August 18, 1926.
Description
The Lake Quinault Lodge is an informal retreat, similar in nature to the Rosemary Inn and Singer's Tavern (also known as the Lake Crescent Lodge). The roughly V-shaped main lodge is centered on a lobby at the angle of the V, with a masonry fireplace as its focus, overlooking the lake. Dormers and a cupola in the steep roof emphasize the central wing. The hotel is a 2-1/2 story wood-frame structure clad in cedar shingles. The extremities of the wings project over sloping ground, creating a three-story facade at the ends. The walls of the upper floor project slightly outward from the ground floor, and are capped with a steeply-sloping roof housing an attic floor. Large expanses of windows face in either direction from the lobby. Two smaller 1-1/2 story wings extend from the reception side, framing the entrance court, with an entry porch at the end of one wing. The interior features expanses of smooth, finished timbers supporting the upper floor, which is itself finished timber. The chimney is decorated with a totem pole-shaped rain gauge that measures rainfall in feet.
The Lake Quinault Lodge was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on July 9, 1998.

are evident here as the Canadian Pacific steamer Princess Adelaide steams for Seattle. This photo, taken in 1949, was one of the last trips the steamer made before being retired. Author's collection.
The Kennewick arrives at Colman Dock in November as it was to be formally handed over to Washington State Ferries. The third of the Kwa di tabil class will take over the Port Townsend-Keystone run in January, sending the Chetzemoka to retire the Rhododendron at Point Defiance. Photo courtesy of Brandon Swan.

The Princess Patricia was still working the "triangle route" between Seattle, Victoria and Vancouver when this photo was taken. The steamer would turn to cruising in the 1960's and 70's, and was finally scrapped in the early 1990's. Author's collection.
The cold days of late fall and winter are upon us, as this photo by Emory Lindgard shows the bare trees. Happily, the solstice arrives in December, meaning days will be growing longer instead of shorter and spring is on the way.
