Even if you don't go inside, it's worth it to wander around it, go over the Bridge, and walk along Foss Waterway.

Go for an amazing hike on any of the three trails to choose from through a forest in the city, check out the scenery on the 5-mile outer loop drive through the moss-covered trees, or walk the path over to Dune Peninsula.

This is the location of our wedding! It also has a cute park, lots of open grass, and the Puget Sound is nearby. You'll also find a couple of restaurants right across the street.

You guys, we can't even begin to tell you how good this place is. It's a family and black-owned 100% vegan comfort food haven (some gluten free options) with a touch of Jamaica in most items on the menu. Even if you're not vegetarian/vegan, you will likely find something you'll love here. Our personal favorites: Jalapeno Mozzarella Burger, The Big "Fish" burger, Mac & Yease, and Reese Cup Milkshake (seriously - leave room for this!). A good majority of their menu contains soy, so be sure to ask before ordering if you have a soy allergy.
The most allergy-friendly pizza place we’ve ever found. They have a huge menu suited for all different dietary needs, including omnivore, gluten-free, vegan, and gluten-free vegan. Seriously consider checking them out if you find yourself in Seattle.
We found this place when we first visited Tacoma when deciding if we wanted to move here. It is still one of our favorite restaurants. Amazing food, 100% vegan and gluten-free.
Sushi burritos, friends. They sell other food, but get the sushi burrito! There are a few Tacoma locations, so if interested in eating here, search for the one closest to you.
