If you have ever flown into Seattle, you probably know the airport is called "Sea-Tac International Airport", which is the abbreviation for "Seattle-Tacoma".

You have seen images of Seattle, but have you ever wondered what Tacoma looks like? Here is your opportunity!

Equidistant between Seattle and the state capital of Olympia (32 miles / 50km), Tacoma is Washington State's third largest city, and the somewhat underrated stepsister of Seattle.

While Tacoma may not necessarily be the top priority of places to visit while in the Puget Sound region, it is still an intriguing city very much worth exploring. One of the United States' largest and most beautiful city parks, Point Defiance, is in Tacoma. Point Defiance hosts the city's zoo and aquarium featuring a fabulous collection of animals. Don't forget to take the extremely scenic and enchanting Five-Mile Drive through the park.

A few miles away, you can choose to either drive, cycle, or walk across the nation's fifth longest suspension bridge, the twins of the Tacoma Narrows Bridge, which has quite an eccentric history all by itself!
