Tacoma, Washington Day 1



After the work day Jennifer took me on a 45minute drive through the Tacoma tide flats and the Port of Tacoma, which is a major gateway to Asia and Alaska, the Port of Tacoma is a leading North American seaport, handling more than $36 billion in annual trade and nearly 2 million containers in 2007. The Port is the seventh largest container port in North America.
The Port is also a major center for bulk, break bulk and project and heavy-lift cargoes, as well as automobiles and medium-duty trucks.

It is located on Commencement Bay – a natural, deep-water harbor in Southern Puget Sound. It was late in the afternoon and the sun was setting, it was pretty cool out we think in the low 40's. We then took a very scenic road named Marine View Drive, which was very windy up the hill to a small town named Browns Point. Where I was introduced to Jennifer's six year old son Trysten who is in first grade at the elementary school. Trysten was very excited to meet me.
