This drug store has the most eclectic gifts I've ever seen. I absolutely cannot leave without purchasing something. I buy all my birthday and special event gifts here and have always got raves from all around. There's even a post office and of course a pharmacy too. Family owned and run, Ranko's is by far the best.

FUMC is a reconciling congregation, which means that people are welcome regardless of their sexual orientation. But unlike a lot of liberal churches, it still "feels" traditional. However, on any given Sunday, you'll hear from Buddhists, Muslims or Hindu speakers as well as Christians. The music from the small choir is simply amazing and the church has a fantastic pipe organ. There is a very active Peace and Justice program and a Taize-style worship service the first Saturday of each month. (Don't worry -- I didn't know what that meant, either!)People are friendly and welcoming. If you haven't been to church for a while, come check out FUMC!

Kaufers specializes in Catholic supplies of all sorts- greeting cards, crosses and rosaries, statues, and general gifts for one receiving a sacrament. Clerical robes are usually on display in the front of the store. It's a great alternative to the toy or department store for a meaningful Christmas or Easter gift. The staff is friendly and helpful. They will take special orders.

I had to laugh when I saw this in the search. Now, I have NO idea what they are talking about when they list the "United States Government" as a grocery store. One can go many places with this one. Are they talking about the commissaries at Ft Lewis or McChord?
As far as the government being in the food business, all's I gotta say is we truly need to get better. Diabetes is rampant, and all of the diseases that were practically nill at the beginning of the 20th century are now a large part of the drug trade. Food is truly a drug to treat and cure, and the US is by far the biggest drug pusher on the planet. We need a healthier food/drug supply!
Why not start life with the perfect food, one that can never be subjugated/chemicalized/diseased by the government - mother's milk? Ever since the advent of formula, we have cancers never before seen in science, a HUGE increase in breast cancer (duh folks!), immune system diseases, etc.....Better food supply = better mother's milk = healthier humans. DUH!

Coming from Seattle and having gone to Woodland Park Zoo many times as a child and now as a mother, I thought, that little Tacoma zoo can't be much. WRONG!
Not only is this nestled in the beautiful Pt. Defiance Park, but it's built on a hillside that overlooks the water. The have pumped a lot of money into the zoo to make it world-class. I enjoy walking around, and it's super easy to get around. It's always clean too, which I appreciate. It's much more modern, open and clean than the dirty old Seattle zoo.
The amphitheatre is a great place for kids to learn new things about animals, and they have an aquarium right in the middle of the zoo! Granted, it's pretty small, but when you're small, you don't care.
The new KidsZone is FANTASTIC! My kids just love it there. I'm so glad that we have a membership there, since I feel that it's much more of a worthwhile investment than what we spent on the Seattle zoo. It's close, lots of FREE parking, easy to get around, stroller friendly (and they have great strollers to rent too), great exhibits, friendly staff, beautiful setting, and the biggest factor - my kids love it!

A natural medicine store in Tacoma's historic freighthouse square, this shop caters to the organically-minded. Although it's a mere block from The Crystal Voyage, Fire and Water Sundries has a larger supply of natural herbs. Another plus- each herb jar is labeled with health benefits and warnings. However, I'd advise you to ask for assistance if you haven't tried natural medicines before.The shop also carries some locally-made, natural beauty products.

I have been a part of this church since i was born (17 Years). This church is my Family and a great one too. The Ministry team is awesome Pastor Driggers and his wife are a powerful team. But Sadly the church is losing members because of its conservative stance. Personally i LOVE the service and I appreciate any church who sticks to the Hymns! But its sad to see the members leave. But the church has an service and a strong family. Everyone Knows and cares about.And it is awesome how God brings us together to be that strong! I Encourage Everyone in the neighborhood to come check it out!!!!

CHB is a great local environmental group with a charter to look after Commencement Bay, protecting it from pollution, etc., as well as maintaining and restoring shoreline habitat. They've been pretty successful in some of their habitat projects in the tideflats areas thanks to a large roster of volunteers willing to help out. They have a neat network of people who keep an eye out for possible polluters in the bay, including people in kayaks, and a paid BayKeeper checking things out from a power boat. I've done some volunteering here, and have been very impressed. Neat group.
