Harriman May Plan Portland Seattle Rail Line
Harriman may move to build a Portland to Seattle corridor with surveys from Olympia and Port Angeles conducted by civil engineers. Boston and New York bankers allied with Harriman back a 4 million bond issue for Port Angeles Western to connect with Seattle and Tacoma terminals. Rail interests and Milwaukee ties, Rockefeller money, and Northwestern Mutual Life involvement shape a Northwest expansion, challenging J. J. Hill territory as planners eye the Puget Sound gateway and lumber rich western slope.
