West Seattle Still Seeks Street Car Line Return
West Seattle residents press for a street car system to link to Seattle. Historical efforts include Guerin company plans, city council franchise refusals, and later attempts with Seattle Electric Co to run service along the bay head and new drawbridge. The equipment was mostly sold off and the remaining cars decay on a side track. Authorities worry demand may not justify investment, leaving waiting uncertainty.
