About Tacoma, Washington

Tacoma is a very affordable place to live in with the price of a condo in Tacoma averaging around two hundred thousand dollars, while the price of the average condo in Seattle is around the four hundred and thirty thousand dollars which means that your money will go further in Tacoma. Home prices along with utilities, transportation, entertainment, dining, and other variables have led Forbes to rate Tacoma’s cost of living as being above the national average. With a population of around two hundred thousand residents, Tacoma’s cost of living is similar to that of cities like San Bernardino, CA, which is also above the national average with a population of just over two hundred and fifteen thousand citizens. However, housing in comparable San Bernardino is much higher than Tacoma with the average price of a condo being around two hundred and fifty thousand dollars. Other advantages of Tacoma include plenty of access to higher education as well as a steady job market. These advantages as well as pristine outdoors space, a high cost of living for the area and location, lovely climate, and plenty of coastal waterfront which is full of restaurants make the city a fantastic place to be.

Climate in Tacoma

Tacoma averages just over thirty-nine inches of rain a year, and the average high temperatures range from the high 40s degrees in winter to the high 70s in summer.

What to do in Tacoma

Though Tacoma may not be as large as some of its culturally-savvy counterparts, it is distinguished by its vibrant and eclectic culture and arts scene. Not only is it an ideal place for working families, new families, traditional college students, and singles to live, work, and establish roots. The Tacoma waterfront hosts a wide array of public art pieces, a year-round exhibition of ever-changing and expanding displays of outdoor sculptures, including some limited indoor display areas for weather sensitive sculpture, paintings, and indoor wall art.

Antique shops and public art display aside nowhere is the city’s unique cultural feel more obvious than in Tacoma’s Museum Row located downtown. Here, locals have ready walking access to the following museums:

• The Museum of Glass 
• Tacoma Art Museum 
• Washington State History Museum 
• Children’s Museum of Tacoma 
• LeMay America’s Car Museum
