Old Town Park - Tacoma Terrill John: Great lawn for playing and watching the summer concert series. And nice play ground for kids. The park includes a replica of Tacomas first European settler. Job Carr. And a stage for concerts.
Tacoma Narrows Bridge - R. Scherer: Im rating this bridge and area based on it history.
I had the pleasure of bringing my kids across the second Tacoma Narrows Bridge nicknamed Sturdy Gertie when they still used wind socks and flashing lights to warn you of the dangerous winds after the first bridge, Galloping Gertie was ripped apart during 40-mile per hour winds, leaving parts of it in the 200 depths of the torrential currents below.
Theres a story of a Giant Pacific Octopus nicknamed Gertie living amongst the wreckage of Galloping Gertie in the waters below the 2nd bridge.
My kids had just watched a historical documentary movie their great uncle had on Galloping Gertie, and they complained the whole way across that it was going to fall!
Now, with the new suspension bridge, there are tolls, how times have changed.
Buffalo Soldiers Museum - Tacoma Lani Crittenden: The docents were absolutely amazing! I was able to integrate what I have learned in my English class at Pierce College with the real history in my state. I would recommend this museum to everyone.
