Olympia Philatelic Society Covers

Since the early years of the Olympia Stamp Club, members have designed and produced commemorative covers celebrating our stamp shows, First Day issues, and important Washington State milestones. Each cover reflects a moment in local or philatelic history—postmarked in Olympia and often featuring original artwork by club members. This digital gallery preserves and shares that tradition, offering a glimpse into the club’s creative legacy and the events that shaped our region’s story through stamps.
