[edit] History

sternwheeler Multnomah at dock at Three Tree Point, Puget Sound, Washington, sometime before 1909.

In early years of development on Three Tree Point, a dock was built on the north beach. The area then was primarily used as for resort or summer homes and cabins. As the area grew with more permanent residents, a clubhouse was built with a tennis court and dance floor area, which was used frequently for events, parties, etc. During the early years of WW II, lookouts would take turns in the light tower, searching the skies for possible enemy planes.
