This is a view of the Tacoma Narrows Bridge and the future bridge that I am still not sure how it should be referred to. See, there is the Tacoma Narrows Bridge which was decimated by the Panasonic commercial, so this isn't really the only new one, although it is the newest. Also it sounds weird to say third when the first is only traversable should you happen to be one of those enormous octopi that lives in the Narrows and makes Galloping Gertie part of its habitat.
Seriously, the Narrows is home to some of the largest octopi in the world. Fun fact, no?
Also, the currents there are mighty strong because there is a lot of water being ripped through a pass that is only a mile or so long. In the old days, pioneers used to row, and it was not unheard of for someone to get ripped away. And that was inconvenient more than bad, because they would end up in Seattle or Olympia rather than Tacoma. Both of which are, in their own way, superior to the city of destiny.
