There's so much to love about Downtown Tacoma: its location on the Foss Waterway, its beautiful architecture, its thriving arts scene, its breweries and nightclubs, and the University of Washington Tacoma. Downtown Tacoma is hilly, with fantastic views of Puget Sound and Mount Rainier. It is very walkable (if you don’t mind the hills), and it is filled with fun and interesting things to do, from museums and theaters to festivals and events.
Downtown Tacoma is the location of the Museum District, home to the Tacoma Art Museum, the Museum of Glass, the Washington State History Museum, and the Children's Museum of Tacoma. As soon as you find your apartment, loft, or condo in Tacoma, visit the Chihuly Bridge of Glass -- a spectacular work of art leading to the Museum of Glass. Public art also includes Chihuly glass, which you'll see everywhere as you walk around the city.
In addition to its Museum District, Downtown Tacoma is home to the Theater District, a terrific area filled with theaters that include the historic Rialto and Pantages Theater. Antiques Row, another popular district, is home to a variety of multi-level antique stores. In addition to being walkable and bike-friendly, Tacoma offers the free Link Light Rail, which runs the length of downtown and offers six stops.
