    City - Tacoma

    Known as the City of Destiny, Tacoma sits on Commencement Bay in the southern portion of Puget Sound. Just minutes from Seattle, Tacoma is the birthplace of internationally-acclaimed glass artist Dale Chihuly. His work is spotted throughout the city, especially the Chihuly Bridge of Glass at the Museum of Glass, a 500-foot-long pedestrian overpass linking the Museum of Glass to Downtown Tacoma. You can create your own work of blown glass at the Tacoma Glassblowing Studio.

    In addition to its creative culture, Tacoma offers residents and visitors access to world-renowned museums, unique venues, and outdoor recreation. Explore the rotating exhibits at LeMay-America’s Car Museum, Tacoma Art Museum, and Washington State History Museum. Grab a drink at Bob’s Java Jive or Dorky’s Bar Arcade before you head to a performance at Rialto Theater or the Tacoma Dome. Peruse the shops at Tacoma Mall and B & I Shopping Center. Take a hike, visit the zoo, and rent kayaks in Point Defiance Park.

    School data provided by The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

    Terrible apartment and a sketchy part of town

    This place is overpriced and terrible in quality. The unit I stayed in was moldy, with broken appliances and a bad water system. They shut water off at random times and never gave notice. Homeless people would gather near the parking lot and management did not handle any situation properly. Would not recommend to anyone.

    5/6/22
    I’m gonna recommend you pass this one up

    The place was full of mold, adjourned with leaky ceilings that weren’t apparent at the time of move in (spoiler: they painted over it). This place is bottom of the barrel, located in a horrible spot, with horrendous parking.

    9/9/21
    Mold and flooding

    Stayed here less than 3 months and there was a flood from upstairs that flooded our entire apartment downstairs, including the neighbors. Its developed mold and they have not done anything to clean it for us. We’re stuck in a contract but definitely will be moving soon. Cheap is not always better.
