It's a Mystery, and We Need Your Help

The historical photo shows the Goodwin family, taken in the 1950s. The small boy is Craig Goodwin, age 3.

The Bonney Lake Museum is looking for historical information on the Goodwin family, but more importantly, the community where the photo was taken. This was a very early recreational community on Lake Tapps that we know little about, and we want to make sure it's recorded properly in our archives. We believe the resort community consisted of small floating houses used seasonally, mostly in the summer months. The little information we have is that it was on the western side of the Lake, in an inner cove between an island known as Island 21 and the larger Driftwood Point Community (see map). The floating community existed from the early 1940s until 1956.

If you have any information on the community please get in touch with the Bonney Lake Museum at the Greater Bonney Lake Historical Society email: [email protected]

Thank You
