Tacoma, Washington
Situated on the Puget Sound and lying southwest of Seattle, Tacoma was once known as the City of Destiny, a place where the western railroad ended. Its colorful history stems from labor politics which often gave it a gritty image in earlier times. Now, it is considered one of the most livable cities in the country because of constant revitalization efforts. It was one of the first cities in the country to become 'wired' and now claims that honor, #1 Wired City in the Country.
For living and working, Tacoma is a northwestern gem. When looking for a Tacoma apartment, know that the city is very walkable and while there is a very good light rail and ferry system, it is primarily a car town too. The Old Town areas as well as the Proctor District and Point Defiance are all near the water. But this is a big city so you'll find choices everywhere.
A Glass Bridge
There's plenty to do in Tacoma. Downtown there are a number of different types of museums. From the art museum to the Museum of Glass with its Bridge of Glass (which isn't made of glass) which memorably crosses Interstate 705 to America's Car Museum, there are plenty of rainy day afternoons in the city. Point Defiance Park houses both museums and a number of outdoor activities like hiking trails and playgrounds. The Titlow Beach area is popular with scuba divers or even check out the sidewalk chalk contests in Frost Park. Getting out of your Tacoma apartment will find you going all over the city for fun.
Hot Dogs and Fusion
Going out to eat in Tacoma is full of wonderful choices. Everyone's number one favorite seems to be Over the Moon Cafe. A fusion of French and Italian plus a romantic atmosphere and reasonable prices keep people going back. Seafood is always a good choice so give Stanley & Seafort's or the Dash Point Lobster Shop. The Red Hot serves only hot dogs but what choices! Everyone loves that place.
Dancing in Jeans
At night, The Hotel is about the hottest spot. It's downtown, serves good food but the main attraction is dancing on weekends. Both the crowd and the music are diverse and it is a great night out! The Loft is a trendy scene where the dress is more than jeans and the people are super friendly. Jazzbones is the best place for jazz and jammin'. But once in your Tacoma apartment, you'll be out finding your own favorites.
