History
6
The first dock on Dash Point was built in 1907, marking the beginnings of residential community life there. It provided access to a former Salish Indian gathering spot. After it was soon lost to the elements, a second dock was built farther down the beach, and in 1917 the community built a sturdy concrete dock intended to last. A clubhouse overlooking the beach became a center for community activities for four generations of Dash Point residents. The Marine View Highway was linked to Tacoma by 1921 and bridged to King County in 1933.
