I was in total awe of this gorgeous school with its wonderful view of Commencement Bay! Fans of 10 Things I Hate About You will be in for a treat. It's like an American Hogwarts. I recommend walking around, it's truly beautiful. Only wish I had attended.

Even though Union Station is now the Court House, we were able to get in to see the Atrium and view the Chihuly art.. Beautiful!

Fort Nisqually Living History Museum is a restoration of the Hudson's Bay Company outpost on Puget Sound. With the help of costumed interpreters, guests experience life in Washington Territory during the 1850s. Nine buildings are open to the public, including the Granary and the Factors House, both National Historic Landmarks, and a Visitor Center with Museum Store.

A historical escape room in a historical building! I ended up going with 5 or so friends, and there were a few other people with tickets to make a whole party. When we got there it was already dark, which gave the fort an eerie look. The escape room itself is in what used to be a residence, and was very cleverly designed (no spoilers!) Everybody worked together to find clues, and I ended up learning a lot about Fort Nisqually in the process. Just don't try to pull the paintings off the wall or mess with the curtains- someone's gotta fluff those every morning, you know.

My boyfriend and I walked to Wright Park after breakfast in the area. I haven’t been here since the century plant bloomed years ago. It is so beautiful inside, wandering the paths! Warm during winter.

I attend Reign FC and Tacoma Rainiers Games here. Great Seats everywhere, I've sat all over the stadium and have always had a great time. Try the R-Bar for a great view and their HUGE Gas Fireplace!

This beautiful bridge with its ceiling of Chihuly Glass flowers is rivaled only by the Chihuly ceiling at Bellagio's in Las Vegas. But why go to Las Vegas when you can see his amazing work close to home?

There are a lot of scenic views in Tacoma, but I think that viewing this bridge is cool enough to be on the list of places I bring people from out of town to see. Besides the view of the two bridges, there is the nice neighborhoods to view it from and of course the story about its predecessor, the Galloping Gertie.
