Trolley Restoration Barn - Where Is This?

Put on your detective hats.  Help us solve a little mystery.  This photo was purchased in downtown Tacoma recently and the buyer was told it came from a local estate.  The title of the 8×10 is “Trolley Restoration Barn”.  It’s dated 1999.  The photographer’s initials appear to be C.P.  The little white box in the back of the photo says “Donations” on it.  The question: Is it a local photo?  Does this show a Tacoma streetcar?  (The scan doesn’t do it justice.  The photo is actually in very good shape.)

    These reports are great. They’d be even better if they described who voted for and against each resolution, as well as the overall vote.

    I thought that Mayor Strickland showed great leadership on the EV fleet cars. I liked Jake Fey’s reasoning too.

    Councilman Boe and Lonnergan both seemed to prefer to dither on the subject.
