What’s Nearby
This beautiful updated Victorian sits in Tacoma's South End, near the Lincoln District and S Tacoma Way. Here's what's around:
Howdy Bagel on South Tacoma Way is the local bagel bakery — boiled-and-baked bagels and breakfast sandwiches with a reputation that draws a line. Go early; they're open Wednesday through Saturday, 8 to 3, and they are known to sell out!
Over on Yakima Ave, Hong Kong Supermarket is the South End's Asian grocery — Vietnamese, Chinese, and Mexican staples, a deep frozen aisle, and a hot deli turning out grilled pork and shrimp vermicelli and egg rolls.
Catherine Ushka's Gas Station Park at 48th and Park is the neighborhood's comeback story — a former Mobil station cleaned up and reopened in 2024 as a pocket park with a playground and a tricycle track.
For coffee, Bluebeard Coffee Roasters roasts small-batch in a restored 100-year-old furniture showroom on South Tacoma Way — pouring since 2011, open 7am to 3pm daily (1pm on Mondays), with a second cafe over on 6th Ave.
Dusty's Hideaway on East 34th is the Craftsman-house-turned-bar-and-burger-joint up on McKinley Hill — full bar, a big corner-lot patio, and a Dusty burger with bacon and egg that regulars order without looking at the menu.
And the green space — Wapato Park wraps Tacoma's largest lake with a mile-long accessible loop, a kayak and canoe launch, a fenced dog park, and covered picnic shelters. Two free lots, open dawn to dusk.
