Old photos along Beach Drive.

I’m trying to track down historical photographs taken along Beach Drive from the 1960s and older. Especially interested in photos of the neighborhood grocery stores along the road and photos from Mee-Kwa-Mooks northward.

Have you already asked the Southwest Seattle Historical Society?

Also the Seattle Municipal Archives. Though most of their old images are for obvious reasons focused on public-works projects/problems, you sometimes can catch structures and street scenes.

We lived in the 3700 block of Beach Drive our first two years here, 1991-1993, and there was still an old mini-mart right across the street, where Cormorant Cove Park is now. I remember buying dusty packs of bubble gum and cans of emergency cat food there. – TR

Thanks for your help, TR. I grew up in the vicinity of the Fauntleroy Ferry dock from 1950 through the early 70s. Having recently moved back to WS I’m interested in tracking down some of the places that are a part of my boyhood memories.
