Greatest city in the history of the world. Any person who grew up there will tell you that it's got a small-town feel with big city amenities. It doesn't barely smell at all, and hey, I've never been shot. Cut it a break once in a while.
"Where are you moving to?"
"Tacoma."
"Oh - are you packing your gun with you? Ha ha ha. Oh man, I'm so funny."
"Yeah, you keep think that Seattle is God's gift to hobos, okay?"

The 3rd largest city in Washington and home of the Tacoma Rainiers a triple AAA afilliate of the Seattle Mariners. Has one of the highest rates of car theft in the country and a burgeoning meth problem (thats only shadowed by Spokane's). There are many museums in Tacoma including a native american exhibit and some odd ones like a viper and beard museum.

Commonly confused as the second largest city in Washington.
It is, in fact, the fourth largest city, behind Seattle, Spokane, and Vancouver, population wise.
The city offers a Washington State History Museum, Glass Museum and Art Museum, as well as the University of Washington Tacoma Campus. The city has hosted the Tall Ships festival twice.
Tacoma is also home to the Tacoma Dome and the Tacoma Rainiers minor league baseball team.
Tacoma: cooler than Seattle, since we don't have so many liberal weirdos. =

An enormous shit hole located roughly 30 miles south of SEATTLE. Tacoma was named the most romantic city in the United States (no joke) and if you live in western Washington you know what a huge joke that is. Often regarded as the ghetto of western Washington.
