Mount Adams is almost totally obscured to Rainier's right. I-5 runs along the photo's horizon. Sixth Avenue leads directly onto the Narrows Bridge. Jackson intersects with Sixth just prior to the long bridge entrance. Tacoma Community College in the 5900 block of So. 12th had just finished its first year of existence; the school, located on a 40-acre plot, is about mid-center in the photograph. Photograph ordered by Puget Sound National Bank. TPL-10541
