Notes

Start at LeMay – America's Car Museum, which needs a couple of hours on its own. The Tacoma Dome is right beside it, and Freighthouse Square — a long timber railway building now full of small food counters and shops — sits across from the transit station. Eat there or at one of the teriyaki counters nearby, then finish at Wingman Brewers. If you are here for a Dome event, this is the Trek to do beforehand: everything is within a short walk of the venue.
