Notes

Everything on this Trek is within walking distance of the Tacoma Dome, which is the point: park once, do the rest on foot. Fill the afternoon with the museum and the old railway building nearby, eat before doors open, and keep a plan for after the show, when the streets empty quickly. Event parking sells out around big shows — arriving early is worth more than any shortcut.
