Crap, Tacoma was the mean streets back in the day. In the 80's shootings were nearly as common as in South Central L.A. I lived in North Tacoma very near UPS in the late 90s early 2000s. Things had changed a lot and the area had become gentrified. I sold my tiny house for double what I paid for it after 5 years (and a pretty nice renovation). There was a great brew pub, E-9, an old fire station that was only a two block stumble from my house, a nice jazz joint, good coffee houses.
