Tacoma Stadium District -
We will meet at 3pm on Sunday Oct. 19. at a local coffee shop or cafe, and then head out to and explore Tacoma's streets, parks, waterfront and interesting nooks and crannies until about 7pm. That will hopefully let us get some of the sunset as well as the afternoon light. At this juncture, we are thinking of focusing our explorations on the area between Fireman's Park and S. 13th Street and Broadway to A St. This area includes Fireman’s Park, the Arts District, the 11th Street Bridge, and a number of interesting buildings and waterfront opportunities. Please let us know if there are particular places you want to shoot, and we will do our best to include them. We will likely do a good bit of walking, and also make use of public transit, so if you have an Orca Card, please plan to bring it with you.
