Tacoma, Washington: Port City with Thriving Cultural District near Seattle

Tacoma is a midsize city located 30 miles south of Seattle on Puget Sound. In the 1990s, the city began to reinvent itself as a cultural and intellectual hub, adding a rejuvenated waterfront and a thriving museum district. This district included the Museum of Glass, which is easy to spot thanks to a distinctive, 90-foot-tall cone covered in stainless-steel panels. Inside, you can watch glassblowing demonstrations and check out thousands of delicate works. Dale Chihuly’s Bridge of Glass connects the museum to downtown via a covered walkway decorated with the artist’s colorful creations.

Another popular spot is Point Defiance Park, a 700-acre peninsula jutting into Puget Sound. Amid flower gardens and nature trails, you’ll find the Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium, where exhibits include an Asian forest sanctuary, a polar bear habitat, and a tropical coral reef inhabited by dozens of sharks.
