About Working in Tacoma, Washington
It's clear why Tacoma residents love their city. The "Mother of Waters" overlooks Puget Sound with a breathtaking view of Mt. Rainier. Point Defiance Park in Tacoma is the second-largest urban park in the U.S., right behind NYC's Central Park. Its 760 acres offer hiking, gardens, and even a zoo. It's only five miles from downtown, so people with Tacoma jobs can enjoy the park on their lunch break or after work.
There's another reason to keep your eye on Tacoma. The city has a love affair with glass. The Museum of Glass was built in 2002 to celebrate art glass and glassmaking and hosts more than 100,000 visitors each year. There's also a glassblowing studio, a bridge made of glass, and a botanical conservatory with a 12-sided dome made of 3,000 panes of glass.
