<p>Hey, I WORKED in Tacoma. And we even moored our sailboat on Commencement Bay for a while. LOL, most people do not have a good opinion of Tacoma and parts of it are bad news but there are some nice places too. It is much better since the paper factory is no longer in operation. BTW the bridge, The Narrows Bridge going over into Gig Harbor have you been across that, or sailed under it? Cool. We don’t go to Tacoma too much except when my kid plays hockey with the Tacoma team or driving through to Portland. But I could get my way around there just fine, after all the work I did was as a visiting nurse, just give me an address and I can navigate my Mini anywhere.</p>
