Notes

Start with dinner at The Swiss, a former Swiss social hall near the museums. Tacoma Comedy Club is a short walk away on Commerce, and the Pantages Theater — a 1918 vaudeville house — is a few blocks north. If you would rather have live bands, Jazzbones on 6th Ave runs later. Everything here depends on the calendar: check what is actually booked on your date before you commit to an order.
