*This post is in collaboration with Travel Tacoma. We received tours & a hotel stay in exchange for an honest review. Affiliate links are contained in this post. In the past, Tacoma was never considered a touristy place. It's always had a reputation as a smelly industrial city with lots of crime. The city has undergone a huge face lift in recent years. "Destiny City" has done a complete turn around, and is now a GO TO Northwest destination. Move over Seattle!
