This is a repost, I posted this originally in the Rookie forum, realized the error of my ways, and am now posting these pictures where they belong: in the PNW.
Full album of 61 photos:
http://imgur.com/a/cdurjI apologize for the quality, at the time all I had was a broken camera that refused to focus unless it flashed.
These photos are about 5 years old. I waited a long time to post them anywhere, and I was also unaware of any sort of community that had the curiosities I do. This location is 90% burned to the ground - there is one wing of hotel rooms left. These photos were before the arson (because every local knows it was arson, and not an "an accident." If you are curious about POE (because the POE is gone now, with the fire) feel free to PM me, it's actually an interesting story.
1. I took this photo because me and my boyfriend at the time had already attempted to break into this hotel once. When we did, we heard what we thought were alarms, and booked it, but we left behind these two cans. When we returned about 2 weeks later, at the time these photos were taken, the cans were still there. Also the noise we actually heard was batteries dying in smoke detectors.
2. This is.. what I think was the restaurant area of the hotel? Those windows on the left lead out to the sun deck, pools, and river.
3. This is one of my 4 or 5 pictures of "the lonely chair." Creepy lil' buggers. But the main reason I took this picture was because we found evidence of a paintball match on the door frame.
4. "The Quiet Bar" - the sign is really beautiful, there is a picture in the full album. It had a full scenic view of the deck and pool area. It was the most peaceful place in the whole hotel, and relatively untouched.
5. We found roof access! More pictures of the roof, and views from the roof, in the album.
6. This was one of the ballrooms. The electricity didn't work, and in reality I could barely see further than that chair. The flash only helped for a second. You still can't see the other side of the room, and I never walked over there. The darkness was too.. engulfing, I guess you could say. The only light source was from the door we came through (as we neglected to bring flashlights).
7. Someone dragged these mattresses down from the rooms and had stacked them up next to the staircase. For you know, jumping purposes. My brothers thought it was a pretty good idea.
8. The pool on the sun deck. It's pretty nasty.
9. This is a picture I have to explain because it just doesn't make sense otherwise. In the center of the picture, there is a blurry brown blob. That's a spider. I really wanted a picture of that spider.
