Forgot this was on Vashon Island, so we decided to stop by and check it out while in the area…read more It's located on Vashon Hwy SW behind a bus stop in the trees, there's not much of any other markers to indicate where to look. It would be best if you did a little research on reading a bit about the history and finding the exact location. We saw the bus stop, pulled over the side of the road, parked, ran full speed across the street and saw the little bridge entry and it was pretty much right there in front of you. I thought the bicycle would be bigger as I didn't see it right away. The front wheel is gone so all there is left is the rusted head tube and the front fork barely hanging on, rear fender and wheel is almost swallowed up by the tree. We were there for about 10 mins max, took some photos, looked around and done. There's an antique shop like a 50 yds away up at the corner, we went in there to check it out afterwards.

It's a great story of how a young boy tied his bike to a tree when he was drafted into serving in a World War and it was left there forever. There isn't a historical landmark or sign post like I would think. There are hardly any bike parts left and it's hard to tell there was a bike there to begin with now. It's about 7' in the air.

But when I was on my friends boat, I got to cruise underneath it for some very cool pics. The Murray Morgan Bridge is also known as the 11th Street Bridge since it's on, that's right, 11th street. This bridge is over 100 years old and was completely overhauled in 2007. The all black does make this bridge stand out, and it has stood the test of time.

Oh, Murray Morgan Bridge! It is really a landmark for Tacoma! It is very unique as it bridges over…read moretha marina and connects the downtown area with the Port of Tacoma. But that isn't what makes it special. Whenever boat traffic passes through and the bridge is needed to go up it doesn't tilt the road up on two sides like a drawbridge but instead it LIFTS the road up with it's mechanics so a portion of the road on the bridge is in the air. I've seen it in action several times and it's impressive to see. You can take stairs down from the bridge to Dock Street below or you can take the elevator which sometimes works. The elevator unfortunately is subject to vandalism so it's pretty battered up inside but definitely workable. So in that regard "Tacoma doesn't want nice things". But if you are out and about downtown or on Dock Street definitely give the bridge a look. You can get hood pictures of it from all kinds of angles around town.
