The glass artworks of Dale Chihuly can be found around every corner of Downtown Tacoma, as well as the Tacoma Art Museum and the Museum of Glass. You can also learn the art of glass blowing yourself, at the Tacoma Glassblowing Studio.
Long before the age of Chihuly, it was the age of candy in Tacoma. This is where the creator of the Mars Bar first got his start, after the original candy man of Tacoma, Almond Roca, launched his crunchy sweets in 1912. Another sweet fact of Tacoma lore: Irv Robbins (creator of Baskin Robbins) began his ice cream career here, in his father’s downtown ice cream shop.
But these days it’s all about coffee and craft beer. There are about as many coffee shops as there are roads in Tacoma, and nearly as many places to sip on local craft beers. The ultimate of the liquid libation celebrations happens in September, at the annual Tacoma Craft Beer Fest.
