Il Palazzo Incantato

The Enchanted Palace

Scenic Caledonia Cove. Since time immemorial an ancestral summer fishing and gathering outpost of Puyallup and other Coast Salish peoples, Northeast Tacoma, including Caledonia Cove, Brown’s Point, and Dash Point, was acquired by white settlers via the Treaty of Medicine Creek in 1854. A lantern was first lit at Brown’s Point in 1887, to guide the boats that were the chief means of transport across Commencement Bay to and from the burgeoning port of Tacoma. In 1905 Scottish-born steamboat owner and builder Matthew McDowell bought 80 acres of land and built a house and dock, and eventually a dance hall, adjacent to the lighthouse. He called his compound “Caledonia,” after the poetic name for Scotland. McDowell’s business thrived as the local population grew and summer visitors poured in; by association with his prosperous estate the area came to be known as Caledonia Cove. Valued for its secluded beaches, marine wildlife, and spectacular water views, and long an escape for those seeking respite from congested urban areas, this peaceful residential enclave offers quick access to downtown Tacoma, downtown Seattle, and SeaTac International Airport. Enjoy all the benefits of proximity to the West Coast’s powerhouse city, Seattle, along with the correct distance for peace and serenity.
