We monitored the superluminal QSO 3C 345 at three epochs during a one-year period in 1995--1996, observing with the VLBA at 22, 15, 8.4, and 5 GHz. We imaged the radio source both in total and in polarized intensity. In the images at 5 and 8.4 GHz, the jet emission is traced up to 20 milliarcseconds (mas) from the jet core. In the 15 and 22 GHz images, we identify several enhanced emission regions moving at apparent speeds of 5c. Images of the linear polarized emission show predominantly an alignment of the electric vector with the extremely curved jet along the inner part of the high frequency jet. At 5 GHz, the jet shows remarkably strong fractional polarization (m~15%) with the electric vector perpendicular to the jet orientation.
