Tacoma Real Estate

Voted one of America's 30 most livable cities in 2004, Tacoma is located on the shores of Commencement Bay, 36 miles South of Seattle. Nicknamed "The City of Destiny," Tacoma has grown steadily in recent years, following a revitalization of its historic downtown, and the establishment of a thriving Cultural District, with a number of museums, galleries, and live music venues. Tacoma's growing arts scene offers an interesting contrast to the blue collar industrial economy of shipping and paper manufacturing which traditionally shaped the city.

The seat of Pierce County, Tacoma was first settled by Americans in the 1850s as the site of a sawmill, and was later selected as the western terminus of the Northern Pacific Railroad. Its rail heritage is apparent today in the form of an extensive commuter rail and light rail public transport system. Today, Tacoma is a vital stop along the Interstate 5 Highway, running from Seattle to Los Angeles, and the third largest city in Washington State.
