What’s Nearby
Whole Foods Market on Bridgeport Way was the first Whole Foods in Pierce County when it opened — organic and local grocery, a taqueria, made-to-order sandwiches, and teriyaki bowls in the grab-and-go. Open daily, 8 to 9.
Down at the Tacoma Narrows Marina, Boathouse 19 is the waterfront Anthony's — Northwest seafood and cocktails on a deck under the Narrows Bridge. Look for the bar top built from the old Day Island Bridge and tables cut from vintage Nalley Valley pickle barrels.
For the outdoors, Titlow Beach is the 75-acre park at the foot of 6th Ave — saltwater beach, a lagoon with ducks and geese, trails, and a summer pool. It's also one of the South Sound's better-known scuba spots.
Salted Rim Bar & Kitchen is the cocktail-and-small-plates spot over on Market Place West — handcrafted drinks, fries three ways, pok pok wings, and a seafood boil. Open Wednesday through Sunday.
And the marquee — Chambers Bay is the county-owned links course that hosted the 2015 U.S. Open, the first ever in the Pacific Northwest. Designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr., it's walkers-only, has exactly one tree on the whole course, and sits inside a 930-acre county park threaded with public trails you don't need clubs to enjoy.
Paper Luxe rounds it out — the stationery-and-gift boutique near Tacoma Community College, stocked with thousands of greeting cards plus candles, jewelry, and custom wedding invitations. Around since 2012.
