> The City of Tacoma is an international, ethnically diverse community and the third largest city in the state of Washington with a population of approximately 200,000. Tacoma is located along 60 miles of Puget Sound shoreline in the heart of the Pacific Northwest. Residents enjoy a pristine natural environment and many recreational opportunities. Only 27 miles from Seattle, Tacoma is close enough to enjoy all the advantages of a major metropolitan area without losing the benefits of a smaller community. The city’s many attractions include Point Defiance Park with its world-class zoo and aquarium, year round golfing, boating, hiking, fishing, and skiing. The ocean beaches and mountains are just a short drive from the city. The community supports professional theatre and the arts. Residents of all ages can enjoy museums, such as the Washington State Historical Museum, Tacoma Art Museum and the city’s one-of-a-kind Glass Museum inspired by Dale Chihuly, internationally known glass artist.
