Demolished Town
The empty shell of the old Hanford High School is the largest remaining sign of the farm town of Hanford, WA., which was demolished along with White Bluffs to make way for nuclear weapons plants near the Columbia River fifty years ago March 6th. Hanford's name lives on as the moniker of the sprawling Hanford nuclear reservation in southeastern Washington. Wartime urgency doomed the towns.

Norton Memorial. Erected by a grateful city, the Norton Memorial stands on a grassy plot at St. Helens and Tacoma Avenue and 1st St. South. A likeness of Percy Dunbar Norton, public servant and pioneer businessman, is engraved upon the stone. A small drinking fountain (later removed prior to WWII when scrap metal was essential for national defense) is attached. Percy Norton, related by marriage to two of the founders of the St. Paul & Tacoma Lumber Co., served as manager of the firm as well as Tacoma City Council president at the time of his death, age 44, in April of 1900. Flags were flown at half mast at City Hall, colors lowered on mastheads of vessels loading at the St. Paul & Tacoma Lumber Co. dock, as well as the emblem on the lumber company offices' flagpole. His desk at council chambers would be draped in mourning for 30 days. The Tacoma Ledger in its April 14, 1900, tribute to Mr. Norton praised his "indomitable pluck, courage, and ability" in the building up of Tacoma and his "business sagacity and management" on the city council in enabling the city to "weather the hard times with its credit untouched." The Norton Memorial still partially remains at the same site, now called the Norton Memorial Park at 99 Tacoma Avenue South. (Tacoma Ledger, April 14, 1900, p. 1-article on Mr. Norton)

White Bluffs Then
An unidentified man stands before a gas station in White Bluffs, Washington in this early undated photo. Along with Hanford, White Bluffs was purchased and obliterated by the federal government in 1943 to make room for the Manhattan Projects' plutonium plants to develop the atomic bomb. The desert-line terrain was considered virtually worthless by project planners.

SCAM (Sheridan, Cushman, Ainsworth, and M Street) neighborhood group members are shown picking up litter in the alleyway between South Sheridan and South M Street. It was the second annual clean up hosted by SCAM. “In addition to cleaning the alleys, the group has put pressure on neighborhood landlords to clear vacant lots of trash and high weeds and to demolish the remnants of partially raised structures.” Photo by staff member Jerry Buck.

Eighty-seven-year-old Rudy Anderson has earned the privelege of sacking out for a snooze in the middle of the Old Fashioned Senior Picnic held at Five Mile Lake County Park Thursday. He had just finished a lunch of barbecued hamburger and the Navy Band of Seattle had begun to play. Hundreds of seniors from around the area attended and activities included games and drawings as well.
