Name the new Tacoma Narrows Bridge after the man who championed the effort, Senator Bob Oke

Posted on by

There is a noble effort to name the new Tacoma Narrows Bridge after the man who championed the effort, Senator Bob Oke. I support the idea. It was Bob’s vision and effort that got the project moving and completed. Coming from the East Coast where there are a lot of bridges (that work!), I think Kitsap could use a few more in a couple of key places including a Southworth-Vashon-West Seattle bridge. The recent ferry debacle lends credence to that notion.

I wasn’t able to get anywhere ‘googling” www.http://bridgebob.org, but I did find the “Bridge of Faith” website endorsing the idea that the Narrows bridge be named after Bob Oke. Here’s the URL to click on or cut’n'paste onto your browser: http://bridgebob.org/index.html
(copied the above from an email I was sent, explains the “I wasn’t….” etc.)

UPDATE- Lantz and Seaquist Weigh in on “Oke” Bridge from the blog Speaking of South Kitsap by Chris Henry has two opposing views represented by Pat Lantz and Larry Seaquist on how the legislature shouldn’t name bridges, well who does name bridges then is my question? Comments welcome.
