Tacoma, Washington was built in the late 19th century at the terminus of the Great Northern Pacific Railroad. Washington’s second largest city sits in the shadow of Mount Rainer, the tallest mountain in the continental United States. As Tacoma evolved from a one company town (railroads) to a thriving and diverse port city, it went through numerous incarnations. Today’s Tacoma is a diverse, cosmopolitan place that borrows from the coffee house culture of Seattle, the artistic spirit of California, and the work ethic of the Far East. Tacoma is an easy place to sightsee by foot, and the climate is both hospitable and mild for such a northern city. Water lovers and wilderness fiends alike can get their fill of natural adventures here. If you’re in town during the summer, go down to the Theater District to traipse around the Farmers Market and buy fresh fruits, vegetables, and fish. In the spring, Tacoma puts on a city-wide parade to celebrate the daffodil. For great entertainment, find out what the Tacoma Opera Company’s putting on next at the Pantages Theater. You might also pay a visit to one of Tacoma’s most iconic architectural wonders, the Museum of Glass.
