Early Dance Halls and Young Adult Clubs of the Pacific Northwest

Olympia Eagles Hall
Olympia, Washington
The Olympia Eagles Hall is still standing and still hosting dances.  They have live music every weekend for their members on Friday night.  The Northwest bands had a love / hate relationship with the Olympia Eagles.  They loved playing there because of the crowds and money......and, before the days of "band boys" and "roadies", hated playing there because they had to drag our heavy equipment up two flight of stairs to the dance hall on the 2nd floor.

Some of the bands that played there included The Corvettes, The Stingrays, The Beachcombers, The Triumphs, The Wailers, The Capris and who knows how many others........
