Scope and content
Salishan - Interiors and Exteriors. An office interior with a man behind a desk talking on the telephone and a woman at the end of the desk reviewing ledger cards. A map of site locations hangs on the right wall. 22,000 war workers have moved to Tacoma since Pearl Harbor needing housing. The 2,000 homes in Salishan (400 permanent and 1,600 with temporary construction) form a new city nearly the size of Puyallup with 465 acres. It includes a large community building, management and maintenance building and a shopping center. (TNT, 4/27/1943)
