Scope and content
This image is of the community of Dash Point as viewed from the water in 1939. Dash Point, as well as Browns Point, Lakota, Caledonia Beach, Toddhaven, Crescent Heights, Northeast Tacoma and the Harding Improvement District celebrated that May the end of a nine-year battle by those communities in northeast Tacoma to establish a suitable connection with downtown Tacoma. The new $380,000 Hylebos Bridge, scheduled to open May 27, 1939, would provide year-round highway access to Tacoma for the 3,500 or so residents northeast of the city and encourage development of those communities. The Dash Point dock and pier are prominent in the foreground. The Dash Point water fountain is located left of center, between the beach and the houses, to the left of the dock.
