Pier at popular South Sound fishing spot closes amid structural concerns
Jul. 28—People who enjoy fishing at Dash Point pier in the Tacoma area will have to look elsewhere for now.
The pier closed this week to undergo a full structural assessment by an engineering firm hired by Metro Parks Tacoma for about $26,000, after which a report may be made for recommended repairs or renovations.
It is currently unclear when the pier might reopen.
Metro Parks spokesperson Nancy Johnson said that exposed rebar, combined with the age of the pier and exposure to the elements led to the need to conduct an assessment.
