Tacoma is one of the West’s most
ecologically diverse areas with an abundance of sea life at its shores and
frequent bald eagle sightings in its skies. Home to a magnificent deep-water
port, major rail and highway links and offering easy access to a major
international airport, the City of Destiny—a name given to Tacoma by her
founding fathers a century ago—still rings true today.
Tacoma is a major destination for
Americans as well as international visitors seeking vacations that accent
the outdoor experience. With its freshwater lakes and miles of Puget Sound
waterways, the area provides year-round activities for outdoor enthusiasts,
including fishing, sailing, scuba diving, beach combing, camping, and sea
kayaking and cruising.
