City of Destiny. She won the title when selected as the western terminus of the Northern Pacific Railroad in 1873, beating out Seattle and other emerging cities in the region. Since then, Tacoma has developed as fiercely independent and innovative. Don't compare Tacoma to that city to the north! Following a renaissance of reinvestment, redevelopment and environmental "clean-up" in the past thirty years, Tacoma now offers a plethora of top museums, great architecture - old and new, lovely parks and a strong community spirit, in addition to a beautiful location nestled between Mt. Rainier and the Puget Sound.
This ColorFULL Watercolor map includes the entire width of the "peninsula" between the Port and the Tacoma Narrows, from Point Defiance to S. 96th Street. It includes all of the City of Tacoma, as well as Ruston, Fircrest, University Place, the northern bits of Steilacoom and Lakewood and Browns Point.
This is a print of her original watercolor painting in variegated tones of blue, green, yellow, orange, pink, purple and brown. Each block watercolored by hand.
