Book Description
Listed on the local Tacoma Register, the Washington Heritage Register, and the National Register of Historic Places, the North Slope is the largest residential historic district in Washington. Perched atop Job Carr's Hill, it is a trapezoid with streets at an angle, or sloped, to the grid designed by city planners. The bulk of the neighborhood was built on a 166-acre farm belonging to the Carr family. Purchased in the 1860s from the federal government, it was sold in the 1880s for residential development. The first homes in the North Slope were built from 1888 to 1893 for tycoons, bankers, and railroad men. Renowned residents included Gov. Ernest Lister, John Q. and Virginia Mason, and Bing Crosby, who was born in the North Slope and baptized at St. Patrick's Church.

Tacoma's Haunted History
Author: Ross Allison

ISBN: 1439647305
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 128
Book Description
Two members of the Pacific Northwest’s oldest working ghost-hunting team (AGHOST) share the spooky stories of Washington State’s City of Destiny. Tacoma hides in the shadows of Seattle, but what hides in the shadows of Tacoma? The city’s paranormal history is riddled with Native American culture, spiritualists, mysterious deaths, tragedy, and curses that dwell in the dark. Much of Tacoma is built directly on top of sacred lands, and many natives to the area can attest that the city is haunted by its past. Desecration of graves can leave troubling results. Hexed citizens can perish. An untimely death can leave behind a soul. These unfortunate circumstances bring forth tales of the strange and unexplainable. Are we alone in Tacoma or accompanied by ghosts of the past? Includes photos! “Tacoma native Ross Allison is a modern day ghost hunter. . . . [He] said that Tacoma’s haunted past hasn’t generated that same kind of attention that Seattle’s has, but he’s hoping to change that by sharing more South Sound stories.” —Q13Fox
