What is Points Northeast?

Points Northeast is the area of Tacoma, Washington that is located across Commencement Bay from downtown Tacoma. The three distinct areas within the area are; Dash Point, Browns Point, and Northeast Tacoma which extends from Cresent Heights to near Fife. This area stretches along the bluffs which overlook the tide flats of the Puyallup River seperating it from the downtown area.

Looking southeast to Mt. Rainier in the distance with Browns Point in the foreground, the tide flats of the Puyallup River in between, and downtown Tacoma on the far right. (Dash Point can be seen on the left in the picture below.)
