塔科马的生活

Your guide to living like the mountain is out! 

The Best of All Worlds

Tacoma is an ideal place to explore the past and create your own future. 这个大 city with a small-town heart is teaming with arts and theater, vibrant neighborhoods, great restaurants, cultural diversity, booming business and beautiful parks and trails.

Tired of an urban scene? Then you’re minutes away from kayaking on the Puget Sound, hiking through a lush forest or camping at Mt. 雷尼尔山. A solid bus and train system makes it easy to navigate around the city—and out of it, when the mood strikes.
