This is the beautiful beach where we got engaged! Enjoy kayak rentals, sitting by the water, and watching for plenty of marine wildlife!
This is one of our favorite spots to grab a coffee from Jewel Box and walk around to enjoy the beautiful scenery of The Puget Sound.
This is the state park that our house is across the street from! The wedding venue is also within the park. The Rose Garden, Zoo/Aquarium, Owen Beach, & 5 Mile Drive are all within park grounds as well.
If you so choose to extend your stay in the area at all, our top "bucket list" item is to make the 1.5 hour drive to Mt. Rainier National Park. If you have your hiking boots, our favorite trail is The Skyline Loop up in Paradise.
In our opinion, the best fish & chips in Tacoma! Enjoy waterfront dining at a casual seafood restaurant in which we frequent.
This has become our favorite happy hour on the Ruston waterfront! Be prepared for beautiful views, bar seating, & great seafood samplers. Our favorites are the lobster roll & oysters.
Our favorite cup of coffee in Tacoma!
This is our favorite brewery! It's in the beautiful neighborhood of Gig Harbor in which you'll drive across the well-known Narrows Bridge to get to. It is on the loveliest downtown strip with shops stocked with local goods.
If you're looking for an indoor activity, check out the famous Chihuly Glass Museum!
