Among other designs considered for the project back in the late 1950s was this Seafair Hydroplane-themed version.

During the 1962 Seattle World's Fair, a color brochure and map was available that showed a total of four SCENIC DRIVES around the city.

Though as many as 600 SCENIC DRIVE signs once lined the roads of Seattle in the late 1950s, only a few remain, including this one near the Fauntleroy Ferry Terminal in West Seattle.

This SCENIC DRIVE sign was rescued a few years ago from the sidewalk along First Avenue at Cherry Street. The design was created by Seattle commercial artist Robert Mathiesen.

As long as the Alaskan Way Viaduct still stands, it remains a very scenic route. This SCENIC DRIVE sign is along the northbound lanes just south of the Battery Street Tunnel.

Scenic Drive signs are ghosts of Old Seattle
