History of Three Tree Point

Images of America Three Tree Point

by Doug Shadel, Pam Harper, and Guy Harper

Introduction by Charles Ganong

In the summer time, native people came to Three Tree Point from their villages. They came by trials that are still used today and canoe, attracted by the freshwater springs and the abundant food source of berries, clams and fish. For them it was a summer retreat, a place to meet friends and to stock up for the winter.

By the 1900's, well-to-do Seattleites started building summer homes on the beaches of Three Tree Point. There was a gereral store as well as a dock, vacation cottages, two pavilion, picnic grounds and the Mosquito Fleet passenger ferry.

During the Prohibiton, Canadian bootleggers used it's darkened docks to smuggle in liquor. Today, the residents remain a hearty, humorous, and colorful group. Three Tree Point offers beachcombing, windsurfing, swimming, waterskiing and jet skiing, kayaking, canoeing, fishing, scuba diving, and sailing. The Point's Fourth of July celebration includes parades by land and sea, activities for the kids fo all ages, and a spectacular fireworks display.

This wonderful story of Three Tree Point is told by Doug Shadel, Pam and Guy Harper in Images of America Three Tree Point. It is a delightful book found in the Bed and Breakfast library and is available for purchase. The author write and we also want to say, "So come on it, pull up a chair, and stay awhile, but be careful -you may never want to leave."

Guest Thank you Note

Dear Penny and Doug,

What a great little place! Ric asked me last night where I wanted to retire, to which I promptly responded. "HERE!"

The Flowers are beautiful. Stargazer Lillie's are on of my favorites. They were smelling up the whole place by the time we left.

As I started reading one of your Ann Rule books off your bookshelf (one of my favorite authors!), I looked out the windows and wondered if you could see her house from here?! I took you up on the offer and took the book home.

By the way, Ric is *snoring* on the massage table as I write this! One of many moments that has put a smile on my face since we got here yesterday.

Speaking of Ric, it turns out he is an excellent cook! Best toast, scramble eggs and oatmeal I've had!

Everything has been great. The food, the fireplace, flowers,even the yummy rosemary mist soap! I hate leaving.

We will retire the very day our youngest, now only 16 mos old graduates high school. If perhaps around that same time you guys decide to sell this adorable little piece of heaven, please keep our contact information and be sure to find us.

Thank you for the generous "upgrade" to the cottage. It was a much needed break for the two of us to spend time together, without interruption of day to day life.

Sincerely,

Keriann and Ric from WA
