Clayton Beach, which is just south of Larrabee State Park on Chuckanut Drive near Bellingham, Washington. These photographs, from three separate collections, show the construction and completion of the cross-over trestle of the interurban trolley and the Great Northern Railroad lines. Clayton Beach is a popular destination for many during all seasons of the year. The trolley support structures, although very eroded, are still visible on the beach.

Top two photographs are from the Puget Sound Power and Light company records. The third photograph is from the Daniel E. Turbeville photographs. The bottom photograph is from Galen Biery papers and photographs. All images are housed at the Center for Pacific Northwest Studies in Bellingham, Washington at Western Washington University.
