Three Tree Point

Three Tree Point

Three Tree Point is a low, gravelly, triangle-shaped spit jutting into the east side of Puget Sound. It is about the mid-point between Seattle and Tacoma. It is referred to on some navigation charts as "Point Pully."

History

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.
