This jacket was spotted in a Yakima (WA) store by a PNW4WDA member (I just missed out on purchasing it). The club was from my home town of Renton.
There was a family a couple blocks from us that belonged to this club (something I remember as they had a cute girl my age … we both went to the same elementary school). I don’t recall this ever being a very big club, so this is a pretty rare find.
The use of WN. rather than WA was interesting. I did some google research, but the answers were not clear as to the exact time of changeover. I assume 1963, when post office instituted 2 letter codes. I assume some people resisted the change.
I would have thought “wash” back in the day. I s’pose that’s why they were called Misfits.
Washington license plates for trucks and trailers had WN until (about?) 1967. Car plates quit with the 1963 stampings which were used until the supply ran out in 1967.
