Working Waterfront Museum

Working Waterfront Museum Review

With its beautiful setting right along the Thea Foss waterfront, the turn-of-the-20th-century, wharf-style structure is easily reached along a walk by the bay. Inside the enormous timber building, displays trace the history of Tacoma's brisk shipping business. Extensive exhibits cover boat-making, importing and exporting, and the development of the waterfront. Photos and relics round out the exhibits, and children's activities are staged monthly. Note: Currently under renovations, the museum will be open for Tall Ships in June 2008, and will open for good early 2009.
