In February of 1951, Tacoma Mayor John Anderson accepted the key to the City of Gig Harbor, surrounded by Peninsula officials holding keys to the City of Tacoma, the "Electric City." Pictured (left to right) are Mayor L. Hum Kean of Bremerton, Kitsap County Commissioner Verd Nichols, Tacoma Mayor John H. Anderson and Mayor Harold H. Ryan of Gig Harbor. The photo was taken at the Young Men's Business Club meeting where the deed for land at the east approach of the Narrows Bridge was presented to John Anderson by Alden Woodworth for a proposed memorial to honor Tacoma's war dead.
