How to Use This Dash Point, Washington Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Dash Point, Washington. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture. Drag the map to pan to any area of Washington or beyond.

Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).

TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the official USGS topographic maps from The National Map — contours, hydrography, land cover and shaded relief, the same mapping used for hiking, hunting and back-country navigation in the Adirondacks, the Catskills and the Finger Lakes. Imagery shows USGS aerial photography, mostly 1-metre NAIP. The search box finds any US town, county or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Dash Point.

Reading the map like a paper quad. Click Grid to overlay the U.S. National Grid (USNG), labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass.

Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as a USNG grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — USNG being the format FEMA and US search and rescue teams work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need cell coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load.

Dash Point occupies a rugged stretch of shoreline where the forest meets the salt-heavy air of the Pacific Northwest. It lies 4.6 miles north of Tacoma, WA (from Tacoma, WA: bearing 10°T), and is situated 9.9 miles west-southwest of Kent. The terrain here is defined by the protected boundaries of Dash Point Park, a landscape of deep evergreen thickets that soften the transition between the damp, inland soil and the shifting tides of Commencement Bay. On clear days, the distant, jagged silhouette of the Cascade Range looms on the horizon, a pale violet spine against the sky, while the immediate surroundings hold a quiet, damp stillness. Moisture clings to the ferns and the heavy canopy, and the light often takes on a muted, silver quality that seems to suspend the afternoon in a perpetual, contemplative gray.

Historical echoes of maritime trade and early settlement linger in the quiet residential pockets that have grown slowly around the natural harbor, far from the industrial hum of the distant Puyallup Valley. While the local economy has transitioned from the extraction of timber to a more settled, suburban character, the proximity to the water remains the primary influence on the daily rhythm of life. Residents look toward the nearby silhouettes of Maury Island and the currents of Commencement Bay, where the passage of water serves as a constant, rhythmic reminder of the region’s geography. Even as the modern world encroaches, the quiet trails and the reach of the shoreline maintain a sense of isolation, grounding Dash Point in the enduring, cool dampness of the coast.
