Scope and content
Saboteurs and terrorists were a concern in Tacoma during WWII. The Tacoma Times on June 26, 1941, ran a front page article titled, "Tacoma Should Guard Its War Industry Against Attacks of Saboteurs." To highlight the threat, they published five photographs, including this one believed to be taken on the 15th Street Bridge, that showed a Times photographer acting out possible attacks. (T. Times 6/26/1941 p.1)
