Scope and content
The Interurban Depot at 8th and A St. The Puget Sound Electric Railway operated the Tacoma-Seattle Interurban, traveling 36.5 miles from Tacoma to Seattle. Parked in front of the depot are two buses, one travelling Seattle-Tacoma-Olympia and another Seattle-Tacoma-Portland, waiting for connecting passengers. To the right is the train bound for Seattle, stopping only at Auburn-Kent. The clock tower of Tacoma City Hall looms in the background. The raised billboard to the left is for the "Interurban and Auto Stage Terminal," and lists the areas served. In the beginning, 1902, the Tacoma-Seattle route had 22 stops and operated at 2 hour intervals. It cost 60 cents one way and $1.00 round trip. TPL-1626; G66.2-004 ("To Tacoma By Trolley" by Warren W.
