Review of Tacoma, Washington


Most Improved City
Star Rating - 1/31/2006
Tacoma has redeemed itself from the old stereotype of "Aroma of Tacoma" due to the paper mill industry in downtown area. Visiting it for the past two years, the city has indeed cleaned up and the view of the Tacoma Bay is breathtaking especially from my mother in law's home on a hilltop facing Vashon Island. Point Defiance is like a heaven for avid walkers and runners, it's like looking at a real life postcard picture :). If only I could have that in San Antonio, TX but the scenery in this lovely city is just great! Need not to mention that everything is so green and there are wonderful coffee shops just about everywhere (at least in the North end of Tacoma).
