They're in English & Spanish. Seen quite a few. Ironically just down the street from the detention center.

I plan on continuing to walk at least 10 miles a day for another 92 days to reach my final goal

I'd be happy to give any weightloss advice to anyone that is interested you can message me or comment below

Got this on the 11th st bridge while doing some biking

I was downtown Tacoma this weekend and got a shot of this quintessential Tacoma view. One of my favorite cities.

The way posts are and have been moderated on this sub is based on community reports, there is a option on every post to report a post for being against the rules, either Reddits rules or this Subreddits rules. If/When a post hits a threshold of reports against only subreddit rules it goes to a Mod Queue, prior to today that was 20 reports. The mods here go though that report and make approvals or removals based on the reports. One of those rules established during Covid was "No soliciting/crowdsourcing"

From the Start of this subreddit until 2020ish there was less than 15k accounts, this subreddit was a smaller closer community with frequent engagment by the same few thousands people and many other lurkers. As I type this r/Tacoma has 124,351 user accounts. That is over 100k accounts than just 5 years ago,

Now in 2020 when the influx began the core users here did not want to be a replacement search engine just because SEO was breaking down, so we have been following that rule for years but we see more and more people, 100k+ more and many of y'all seem to want to be human googles and provide answers to those questions so, 2 things...

1. Starting today that Threshold is MUCH higher this means if you are one of those people who report every post many just wont hit the mod queue anymore

2. The rules will be changing soon, in accordance with that we want to hear your input, the rules can be found on the side bar, or maybe you still use old reddit (like me) https://old.reddit.com/r/Tacoma/

Input on all rules is open below, tell us what you like, what you don't, we will leave this up for the rest of February and then in March the mods are meeting IRL to make changes based on the feedback we get here...

My boyfriend just saw this sheep (?!?) on South 12th and Trafton around 10:50pm. I didn't know what else to do aside from post it here and hope she makes it home okay. No idea where she came from! 🤷‍♀️

I was driving through the park a few hours ago and spotted a gorgeous bald eagle just chillin near the entrance. I work for Parks Tacoma so I wanted to make sure it wasn’t injured and that people were giving it space, so I ended up hanging around for about 45 minutes just watching it.

It appeared to be a young adult. Bald eagles don’t develop their signature white head until they’re around four to five years old, so this one was at least that old. People were really respectful, keeping their distance as they walked by, and I even got to answer a few questions about them :)

After about 45 minutes, it took off and flew deeper into the park. It’s so rare to see one this close in the wild, and I’m really grateful I got to experience it and that other parkgoers did too! I’ve worked with bald eagles before, and they’re just such fascinating, beautiful birds.

So here’s a friendly reminder to get out and visit your local parks. You never know what incredible wildlife you might get to see!

Nobody was seriously injured, but I'm 99% sure my garden beds are the only thing that prevented my wife from getting killed, as she was right inside the window. How can we get the city to do something?

I’ll be in Tacoma from the 13-16 so not a lot of days but was hoping to see any recommendations or must do’s. Washington has always been a bucket list state of mine. Especially your coast(any beach with your iconic trees would be amazing, something I’ve always wanted to experience). So far I’ve only been able to come up with the gum wall, fish market, space needle, and the trolls.

But would honestly take any recommendations just so I can start to make out an itinerary. One of the main things I’ve really wanted to see was the coast so if that helps and you have any spots please share. But open to anything food, activities, etc. it can be in or around Tacoma. Thank you very much to anyone who replies
