Scope and content
This is how the Interurban Terminal, 702 A St., looked on July 13, 1925 from the alley & 8th Street. The Tacoma-Olympia bus, or auto stage, was parked along the side waiting for connecting passengers. In the right rear was a side view of Puget Sound Electric Railway No. 516. Partially viewed to the left of #516 was one of the Tacoma Railway & Power's Stone & Webster 200 cars used on McKinley Ave. Puget Sound Electric Company began interurban line service between Tacoma and Seattle in 1902. The direct (limited) service, with stops only at Kent and Auburn, left every hour on the half hour between 7:30 a.m. and 6:35p.m. The local left every hour 6 a.m. -8 p.m., with 2 later streetcars, service ending at 11:35p.m. Locals stopped at all way stations.
