Coffee-pot shaped! Famous American roadside attraction. Not really a food place.. and no coffee. More like a rite of passage. No frills, hard alcohol, karaoke, outside patio and eccentric interior. On gritty South Tacoma way. An absolute classic icon and dive, often with live music. A Tacoma original and crazy architecture from times when buildings were shaped like things.

Good Pho! And close by on 6th Ave. It gets pretty roudy at night - directly next to a marijuana dispensery. My children's favorite is Pho King (yes.. they love to pronounce it, of course) on MLK Jr. Parkway but this may not be the safest area to walk at night.

Can go as an passenger on this ferry just for fun or take a car to explore quiet Vashon Island right next to Tacoma. The Bremerton to Seattle ferry is also the absolute best way to approach Seattle. Highly recommend taking the long way to Seattle via ferry - do this.

An absolute must visit! Paradise is the closest high elevation spot on the mountain. It is about 60 min to the base of the mountain and another 45 up to Paradise. Plan a bathroom and stretch break in Ashford. We enjoy stopping in at Whittaker Mountaineering on the way too - cute, well-stocked hiking and gift store and outdoor restaurant. Ice cream spot is close by too.

Iconic Pacific Northwest beach! Many of them on the Olympic Penninsula are just gorgeous. Plan for cold winds and possible showers but that only adds to the atmosphere. Swimming is not recommended at most beaches on the Pacific with the exceptions of those closer to Ocean Shores. The waves are very strong and their are logs rolling in the waves. You know something is up when the local signs say, "Caution! Logs kill!" or something to that effect. Yikes! BUT it is still beautiful and you will want to wander a while.

Safety

Always lock house doors and shut windows when leaving. Lock cars. Don’t leave things visible. Sadly, any open door or window is a temptation for burglars. :( It’s a very safe and cozy neighborhood but this does happen…
