UW Tacoma is such an awesome campus -- the part they've done at least, using a bunch of old buildings plus a few new ones. They still have a lot of vacant land up the hill which frankly I wish they'd fill in, but they're keeping to themselves so they can someday multiply in size.

thanks everyone..chris, danmartin,madonnagirl & aarhusforever and @mhays - I always think that old, decent buildings like the ones the university has now give it a kind of dignity at least on the physical side.@lebadinage - that Sunday morning was a warm sunny day but it was raining hard when we drove home in the early night.

I'm surprised that with these photos, I could sayTacoma is a complete city by itself, it has its industries, university, museums and a developed downtown and those old buildings are really lovely.

Tacoma is a real city by itself. But it loses a lot of good stuff because it's 30 miles from Seattle -- much of its white collar economy, its biggest downtown headquarters (Russell Investments recently moved to Seattle's former WaMu HQ), its law school (merged into Seattle U a few years ago), and so on, just like it's been doing since the 1800s. But it can excel in other things, like affordability, growing seaport, etc. The military is a huge presence.

thank you guys for leaving some good comments/feedbacks. I totally agree with you mhays that the city can stand by itself and I believe that the military bases around the area do contribute to the city's economy.
