Browns Point Improvement Center NE Tacoma Browns Pt WA

The Browns Point Improvement Club was organized in 1919. At that time, the community consisted mostly of summer homes and beach cabins, with relatively few permanent residents braving the long winters in the isolated community. Travel to and from the point in that era was by the boats of the "mosquito fleet", which arrived several times each day at the dock near the lighthouse.
