Progress photographs. The 22+ story (National) Bank of Washington tower juts into the downtown Tacoma landscape in November of 1970. It is quickly approaching its dedication date of January 9, 1971, nearly two years after ground was broken for this massive project. The high-rise and surrounding plaza was built by the (National) Bank of Washington which would merge into the Pacific National Bank of Washington before the building was completed. The tower was built sans a 13th floor and included an impressive helipad/helicopter landing site on its roof. Photograph ordered by Donald M. Drake Co., Portland.
