FOSS WATERWAY SEAPORT, TACOMA

 

Sometimes Tacoma gets kind of a bum rap --  people seem to think of it as the  poor step-sister of its neighbor, the beautiful and justifiably famous city of Seattle.    

 But don't sell Tacoma short.  It's an interesting city with a lot of beautiful public park and outdoor spaces....and world-famous museums.     (And we have kids there.)

 And there's the Mountain!  

 

Mount Rainier and Foss Waterway

 

 

 

Chinese Reconciliation Memorial

 

Part of a monument park that I will post more about later, with a view to Puget Sound and and two big Navy ships in the background.

 

Foss Waterway is a working and pleasure harbor on beautiful Puget Sound.

I love the photo with the mountain. We don't have very high mountains here in Finland.

Spectacular; especially with Mr. Ranier looming majestically in the distance and what a fab shot with reflections.

WOOZER thats one beautiful view!

[Lowell]

Well, I love water, boats, mountains, parks and museums and I think I would like Tacoma just fine! Beautiful pics!

Re the kitties: We adopted twin sister kittens about a month and 1/2 ago and they have grown to twice their size when we got them. They came from a vet who gave them all their shots, had them spayed and declawed (front paws). They are strictly indoor cats.

But they've changed from little frightened scaredy-cats hiding behind the washer/dryer to bigger rascals who are very loving and very playful and into absolutely everything. In fact, I had to throw one out of the office in order to finish typing this! :)
