Tacoma Downtown

So to get Tacoma Downtown kick started, Tevin and I grabbed a camera and decided to capture some of downtown Tacoma’s beauty.

We began on South 34th street, which we strategically determined was the southern border of downtown Tacoma. 34th street has two bridges which both have a spectacular view of downtown Tacoma. All of downtown Tacoma’s trademarks can be seen from here; the dome, all the office buildings, the waterway, and the 21st street bridge. We took photos for what we originally thought was solely for the site. The realization later came that this experience was nothing short of awe inspiring. I have lived in Tacoma all of my life and amazingly have never seen Tacoma from this viewpoint.

It goes to show that a city thats been staring me in the face for 22 years can still surprise me. From there we continued down East Dock street and took some impressive photos of all the museums, the waterway, and better close-ups of the 21st street bridge. We then continued over the bridge atop I-705 from the glass museum. After some phenomenal sunset pictures we decided to call it a night. Despite the fact we didn’t get to photograph all of downtown Tacoma as we planned, it was a success.

Not only were we able to get some great material for the site, but we tallied up another great experience in downtown Tacoma, which is what it’s all about.
