Book Overview
Three Tree Point is a prominent peninsula on the eastern shore of Puget Sound about 14 miles south of Seattle. Its name came from three massive fir trees that stood on the north side of the point at the beginning of the 20th century. The area remained largely undeveloped until 1903 when the Three Tree Point Company began marketing the community as a place to build summer homes. Seattle's business elite built houses at the point to take advantage of the beach lifestyle for which it has become known. Over the years, Three Tree Point and its 2.5 miles of waterfront emerged as one of the Northwest's most unique residential communities. Its history is a diverse mixture of family life, unusual characters, Fourth of July celebrations, shipwrecks, fishing derbies, and storytelling.

Great history of a very special place
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 14 years ago
This is a complete and fascinating history of Three Tree Point, on Puget Sound, below Burien. Particularly interesting to me, since I grew up there way back in the 30s and 40s. My Grandfather is pictured and my grandmother mentioned several times. It was a wonderful place, and the house Grandad built is still occupied by family. The family parties continue to this day. The book has marvelous pictures and wonderful anecdotes about life in "the good old times" as well as the present, in a magical place. Ann Carter (cartann)
