Great history of a very special place

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)
