Downtown Tacoma Tour

Why was the notorious Broadway Hotel padlocked in 1929? How is the Broadway Hotel connected to Ben Dews Restaurant? This intriguing Downtown Tacoma history showcases the history of Rhodes Department Store, moving sidewalks, Pacific 1st Federal Savings, Selden’s Floor Coverings, which child was the star of the Rust Building, the skilled music teachers who lived in the Bernice Building, which buildings the ghosts haunt today and a tragic car accident on Pacific Avenue in 1941.

Rain or shine. This is a 1-hour walking tour, which includes uneven sidewalks and walking up two hills. This tour might not be adapted to those with disabilities.
