He's the voice of Robby The Robot (and countless other characters and docs like this) from the masterpiece film Forbidden Planet. If you haven't seen it, do it. It's from I believe 1958 and it holds up masterfully. The ending is to this day one of the most terrifying ever filmed. Cheers, Ma'am.
My Father worked at Hanford. He did "plumbing" at the reactor. He and his coworkers only worked 15 minutes a day in there because of the radiation. They worked 12 hours a day in case there was an emergency and they needed things fixed immediately. They were incredibly schooled and skilled workers. 15 minutes a working and the rest of the time playing cribbage, waiting for that emergency which only happened once during his tenure there. It had nothing to do with Hanford, but he died far too young. I miss him so much. Sometimes I wish I were religious so that I believed I'd see him again. Love you, Dad.
I'm guessing 1960 or early 1961 for this film, as there is no sign of the 1962 World's Fair , and the construction of the I-5 ship canal bridge, which opened in January 1962. I saw no cars later than 1960, and also no mention of Boeing! I wonder just how many of the industries shown in this film are still thriving today? But yes, Washington is a great, and beautiful state.

Grew up on the Kitsap Peninsula, lived in Seattle for a few years and now live in Spokane. I'm so proud of my state, its diverse landscape, industry and people make me glow with joy. It was cool to see some old footage of the Hood Canal Bridge being built at the mention of "Puget sound islands" connecting to the Olympic peninsula, which is odd since the Hood Canal bridge connects the Kitsap Peninsula to the Oly Peninsula, neither of which are islands :P Also to see some glimpses of the just built but now (as of yesterday) completely torn down Alaskan way Viaduct in Seattle. Our state is so rich and the amount of people who want to split it in half is saddening.
Population of 10 million by 1975? Its 2020 and we are almost at 8 million...a little off lol. Its sad to see now how the homeless and not proper homless but addicts have taken over the streets. The head of the Seattle city council is a joke and an embarrassment but their still is some beautiful things about this state.
Seattle, Washington is my hometown. We left at the end of 1969, haven't been back since. I do want to visit Seattle one day soon. I couldn't live there, though.
These old economic propaganda films are ridiculously idealistic advertisements aimed at investors that didn’t trickle down squat and drove the wedge between classes ever deeper. Nowadays it would all be tech industry-centered and still not mention the wealth gap. Like poodle skirts and pet rocks, these films are the same kitschy trash as the day they came out. Should be included as evidence in a class action lawsuit for reparations to Black and Native Americans first, and then also for everyone else who got left behind.
Logged on the coast in the early 70s, still visit when I can.

I thought there would be something about planes when they showed off all the aluminum! *shrug* the 747 wasn't made yet I guess.
Beautiful 🌷

The ppl in Spokane wanna split it. They need stay in Eastern n the ppl who act like them here in the west needa go east

My home state! Wouldn't want to live in Seattle. I live in Vancouver, near Portland. Washington just got named #1 best state in the country.

Washington was a great place in the 60s&70s, Sure sucks nowadays.

@@JimJones-ie7jh Its the fact, there is no meth addict in the street during the 50s to 60s

No wonder everyone in the country thinks we are a bunch of lumber jack plaid wearing country bumpkins up here in the PNW. Not a good film for,tourism.

Hey. You took time out from reading Marx to watch something about real life. Was it hard?
Love your zeal. On the plus side, a good visual record of the past.
