Scope and content
ca. 1959. Aerial of Tacoma, circa 1959. Tacoma's downtown can be seen clearly in the center of the picture. The heavily forested area is Wright Park. The Eleventh Street Bridge crosses over the City (Foss) Waterway leading to the industrial development of the Tideflats. High above the city is the visage of Tacoma's most famous landmark, the white capped peaks of Mt. Rainier. A heavy haze lies over the city, either a weather condition or a visible reminder of the "aroma of Tacoma" air pollution. TPL-9299
