Picture post card with a Pigeon Springs type B 4-bar postmark dated February 6, 1920. Franked with a one cent Washington stamp, the card is addressed to Portland, Oregon. Its message mentions good fishing.

The Pigeon Springs, WA post office operated from 1913 to 1924 at a rustic resort and hotel (really more of a lodge) about 17 miles up the Kalama River. Access from Kalama proved costly and difficult, contributing to the demise of the enterprise.
