The East Washington Line was a local streetcar route of the Pacific Electric Railway serving Pasadena. It ran from Downtown Pasadena to East Washington Village, by way of Los Robles Avenue and Washington Boulevard. The extension to Tierra Alta opened in 1912. The line was abandoned after July 29, 1923.[1] Service was thereafter provided by buses.[2]
