Review of Tacoma, Washington


Tacoma!
Star Rating - 2/2/2008
I'm not going to lie here I know Tacoma like the back of my hand and that means I know all about the crime (which is in a decrease) and the aroma. The aroma of Tacoma! The city can smell and the crime here is higher than any other city in the Pacific Northwest region. Other than this the city is enjoyable on a sunny day (Yes this is WA so there is rain and clouds). The downtown went through a makeover and Point Defiance Park and Zoo is way above exceptional. There are many things to do here and it is a stop for most "Road Tours" of famous bands due to the Tacoma Dome, the largest stadium in the state. Compared to the rest of the state traffic here is horrible, especially if you are coming from the south and heading north to Seattle. Tacoma has it's good parts and it's bad parts but if you look I think you'll see why so many call this city home.
