Parker and I rode the Link train to Tacoma's Theater District today, to wander through the Farmer's Market. We didn't find what we wanted (a local source of goat milk) but we thoroughly enjoyed the city views.
Hotel Bostwick: This small, triangular hotel was built in 1889 by Dr. Henry Clay Bostwick, Tacoma’s first practicing physician and later bank president.
the Tacoma Pantages was designed by Seattle architect B. Marcus Priteca after an ornate theater in the Palace of Versailles. The Tacoma Pantages served as a live theater for only eight years before being converted to a movie house. A vision of the Pantages as the cornerstone of a revitalized downtown area led to the restoration beginning in 1978 after the city bought the theater. On February 12, 1983, the Pantages Theater officially reopened. Today it is the oldest of the Pantages Theaters still in operation.
