Rincon Hill Regrade.jpg
It’s Rincon Hill before the Bay Bridge, back when they still weren’t building any more land but the condos had yet to rise. The Harrison Street grade (1) was lowered 50 feet to Second Street (2) while the bluff (3), a “barrier between Rincon Hill and the industrial district to the west,” near which the 333 Harrison Street project will rise was cut 39 feet.

  1. According to yelp Rincon Hill Lunch had the best meatloaf sandwich and you could easily strike up a conversation with friendly and attractive ladies. And you can’t beat those five cent glasses of Tacoma Pale.

  2. The toxins from the dynamite used to blow up the bluff poisoned the bay near the runoff and resulted in a huge fishkill.
