items Washington is such a magical place that incorporates so many types of nature to our daily lives. This is a ever-growing list of the places I love to explore and visit since I've become a local.

Premier Destination for shopping, waterfront access with bike rentals, restaurants, theater, photo opts and so much more.
Point Ruston
Picturesque Waterfront Promenade and Beach. Fun for the whole family, hiker, cyclist, beach bum and more.
Owen Beach - Metro Parks Tacoma
Creators Paradise with many secluded locations to capture a forested, camp-like setting. Very PNW.
Wapato Park - Metro Parks Tacoma
Serene playground, nestled by big trees with a walking trail to wrap around. Great for a solo meditation session or early morning yoga.
Manitou Park
Amazing open fields to enjoy community theater nights on the lawn, birthday parties, spray ground Summer days, a magical new playground and so much more. We love to fly kites there during the Spring and Summer.
SERA Multipurpose Field
Stunning photography spot and perfect for meditation sessions and closeness to the water.
Tacoma Narrows Park
Such a great spot to learn all about Sea Life. So much washes up on the beach seasonally, you never really know what you'll discover.
Fox Island
Truly breathtaking park, during the Summer this park stays full of families on blankets, having picnics and walking the trails till the sun goes down. It has something for everyone.
Chambers Creek Regional Park | Pierce County, WA - Official Website
There is nothing about Steilacoom that I don't love. From beautiful, secluded, fishing docks, to small-town vibe, the ferry to Anderson Island and great beaches and photo opportunities to explore.
Steilacoom
Hidden gem with small town vibes. Worth spending the day and exploring the many local shops and restaurants and taking a hike at Poo Poo Point.
Issaquah

Pike Place Market
A stroll through time and history. This building goes on forever and ever with room after room of collectibles, antiques and more. Nostaglia is the key word. Plan to grab a coffee in route and stay a while.
South Tacoma Antique Mall
Down right the best Mexican food we've had in Tacoma. The Stuffed Jalapeno Peppers are to die for.
Moctezuma's Mexican Restaurant & Tequila Bar
Our trips here have become a monthly treat, they serve so much fresh foods, from Pizza, Gelato, a huge salad and soup bar, plus gourmet bakery, cheeses, wine and spirits, a collection of local kitchen goods and so much more, Metropolitan is the coole...
