Be an URBAN NATURALIST and experience rare Northwest flare
The Pacific NW is unlike any other destination – we have something for everyone. Tacoma-Pierce County is the perfect destination for those who want to experience rare Northwest flare and go home with some unique stories!
The Region: From urban downtown Tacoma to rugged Mount Rainier and everything in between.
The Scene: Historic architecture coupled with vibrant glass art make downtown Tacoma a truly unique find. The maritime community of Gig Harbor has many inlets and coves to explore by boat – and just as many boutiques to explore by foot. Beautiful estate gardens beckon you in Lakewood. The charming town of Puyallup sits in the foothills of the mountain.
The Big Thing: There isn’t anything bigger in the lower 48 states than Mount Rainier. The majestic volcano literally stretches from the ground well into the skies.
