The smokestack at West Tacoma Newsprint seems to extend endlessly into the sky as it belches smoke on October 20, 1954. West Tacoma Newsprint were paper manufacturers, who despite their name, were actually located in Steilacoom. The Chambers Creek location had been home to many paper manufacturers since 1918, starting with Cascade Paper and concluding with Abitibi Consolidated Sales which announced its impending closure in July, 2000. View of chimney from its base looking upward; evenly spaced steel rings circle the chimney. Photograph requested by Boedecker Chimney.
