Last week, I flew to Sea-Tac, Seattle-Tacoma International Airport for some R&R, Northwest-style. Like most folks, I usually head north to Seattle, but this time, I made a point to drive south to Tacoma.
I'm glad I did.
Tacoma has shed its gritty image and is emerging from Seattle's shadow as a destination in its own right.
There's mesmerizing glass from native son Dale Chihuly and majestic views of Mount Rainer. The city is clean, the residents are friendly and there's plenty to do and see. I stayed at chic Hotel Murano and walked to most destinations, including the Museum of Glass and the Tacoma Art Museum. I made my own glass creation at the Tacoma Glassblowing Studio. I enjoyed dining at Pacific Grill, BITE, The Lobster Shop and Hello Cupcake.
It's time to discover Tacoma. http://www.traveltacoma.com/
