An urban port city 30 minutes south of Seattle, Tacoma is the South Sound’s center for business activity. It draws many residents and visitors who use the extensive light rail system to attend courses at the University of Washington campus or catch their favorite entertainment act at the Tacoma Dome. Many artists call Tacoma home, as its art and historical scene thrives from the Chihuly Museum of Glass and LeMay Car Museum to the restored urban waterfront.
For some, the call to live life at water's edge is undeniable: The sunshine reflecting upon the water’s surface, boats or ferries passing by, birds soaring overhead, the glimmer of a wavy sunset. From boating and beachcombing to kayaking and birdwatching.
