What is Tacoma like?
Tacoma offers all the amenities of a large city without giving up its small-town charms. Tacoma is home to a symphony, museums, theatres, excellent restaurants, a major shopping mall, and much more.At the same time, Tacoma is a friendly town where neighbors come together to help each other. University of Puget Sound is located in the pleasant, historic North End neighborhood of Tacoma, minutes away from downtown as well as from the beautiful waters of Puget Sound. Seattle is only 40 minutes north, accessible by car, train, bus or ferry. Mt. Rainier National Park, Olympic National Park, and the Pacific Ocean are each less than two hours away.
