Scope and content
ca. 1967. Copy of customer's print. Closer view of aerial with names of various freeways and major roadways, present and projected, ca. 1967. There had long been talk about building a multi-purpose stadium in the Puget Sound region. This map shows the proximity of such a stadium to major freeways and the Seattle-Tacoma Airport. Even rapid transit was a future prospect to bring visitors and patrons to this area. The Pierce County Sports Stadium Advisory Committee had proposed a 120-acre site at the intersection of So. 277th & West Valley Highway in King County. A group of Tacoma citizens had an option on the land. Pierce County residents were to vote on a $10 million bond issue to help King County build a stadium if a site was chosen south of the airport.
