Plans for Interurban Line From Seattle to Tacoma
Movements among Stone and Webster owners indicate two routes for a new Seattle to Tacoma interurban. One would enter Seattle via Spokane, West Seattle, then south. the other would travel through South Park to high ground between Puget Sound and the White River valley. Right of way has been acquired and grading could begin soon, shortening the distance to 28 miles from 36. The line may pass to Union Pacific upon terminal completion, offering a low grade tie between Seattle and Tacoma. Local officials deny active new-line moves, though property purchases and engineering activity suggest otherwise.
