Mission Bay used to be much more than biotech industries and shipyards, before developers razed the soft hills of SoMa to fill in this area, it was a beautiful tidal bay. Today Mission Bay is the moniker for a new UCSF biomedical campus. Some urban explorers know there is a Mission Creek with a houseboat community, too. The history of Mission Bay is the story of the gradual filling-in of a vast tidal cove in San Francisco Bay. Covered with shallow waters of Mission Bay, edged with tidal salt-marshes and receiving fresh water from meandering Mission Creek, this broad, sunny expanse of real-estate has over the last 130 years attracted a wide variety of would-be settlers, imaginative speculators, and visionary planners.
