Lived in Tacoma for over 10 years, E.T. lived there over 20. I loved the waterfront, parts of downtown, the Glass Museum, Art Museum and galleries. It is accessible to great places like Long Beach, Ocean Shores, even down to Oregon beach areas.
I did not like the traffic, the I-5 is a nightmare most of the time, and I dont care for the crowd thing. Seattle is fun, but impossible to park in and the traffic there is insane. Cost of living is higher in Seattle, but gets better the further away you go! I'm not a fan of Eastern WA. I do miss Commencemnet Bay, Point Defiance, and the Glass Museum.
