Tacoma is the New Jersey of Washington state
Chihuly Bridge of Glass // (c) Dale Chihuly
Jersey can't get no respect. Sure, people call it "America's armpit." And yes, it's the butt of endless jokes (Why are New Yorkers so rude? Because the light at the end of the tunnel is Jersey). But people from Jersey take pride in their state - and I'm not just talking about knowing the real spelling of Bon Jovi or how to navigate a jughandle.
Seriously, it's not half bad. There's a reason it's called the Garden State (once you've tried a Jersey Fresh tomato,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], there's no going back), it's home to great schools like Princeton and Rutgers,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and there really is a dynamic overflow of people and cultures from the cities nearby. Don't even get me started.
Enter Tacoma. Yes, I've heard of the Tacoma aroma (Jersey's known for its musk,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], too). I've also heard about it being a supposed "industrial wasteland" with lots of crime and not much culture (fates also assigned to New Jersey). But the reality is quite different. Here are a few spots that prove my point:
1.) Tacoma Art Museum - It might not be as big as the museums back home,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but it's a clean, contemporary space with well-organized,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], thought-provoking exhibits that push boundaries in a completely different way than SAM can.
2.) Museum of Glass - Dale Chihuly's glass might be old news to Seattleites,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but outside of seeing his work in Atlantic City casinos,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], his creations were new to me. It's an amazing collection of glassworks and even better, you get to see artists in action.
3.) Point Defiance Park - Based on everything I'd heard about Tacoma, I was surprised to find a park with beautiful trails through an old-growth forest,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a marina where you can rent kayaks,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and well-maintained thematic gardens.
Tacoma's also home to some imaginative and a growing waterfront district. If you're new in town and looking to explore the local art scene, I recommed the drive to Tacoma down I-5 - even though it's no NJ Turnpike.
Hi Shiwani. I like your writing. Very likeable tone you have. I'm from South Tacoma (Lakewood), but every time I pass downtown, it does smell. Actually,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], we had a reunion party downtown lately, and when we were driving around,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], I thought my brother farted because of the egg-like sulfurous stench. And,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], he though I did it! But, it was coming from outside, off of Ruston Way. They say it's the paper mills, and depending on where you are,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], it can be pretty bad. But,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], despite that,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], like you said, downtown has become a lot more cultured and interesting.
