2020 Map of Tacoma North

About this map

Tacoma and its deep industrial waterfront dominate this coastal study, where the Puyallup River meets the complex inlets of Commencement Bay. The map captures the massive infrastructure of the port, including the Blair Waterway, Sitcum Waterway, and the Hylebos Waterway Bridge, illustrating the region's reliance on maritime commerce. In contrast to the heavy industry of the south, the northern reaches of the map across Dalco Passage show the more residential and rural character of Vashon Island and Maury Island, featuring the Maury Island Cem and small settlements like Dockton and Manzanita.
