We booked Historic 1625 as our wedding venue a year in advanced because we loved how BEAUTIFUL, yet…read moreaffordable it was and we could not have been any happier! The process from beginning to end was so smooth. My husband and I worked with Kellie. Not only did she make this whole process fun (do not get me wrong, there were times when it was TOUGH because that's normal wedding stuff, right?), but she was extremely helpful and quick to respond whenever we needed her. Her relationships with the vendors we worked with clearly showed us how great and qualified she was at her job. She definitely went above and beyond to make our wedding what it was...and it was freaking amazing! The main things we were looking for in a venue were on-site parking, two separate bridal suites and room to accommodate a large party - Historic 1625 checked all of those requirements. For cocktail hour, we included the car garage package and that was a HIT with all of our guests. The classic cars were a nice touch as people were mingling in between the ceremony and reception. We fit 270+ people comfortably into one side for the reception, while allowing the other side to be open for the bar, dance floor and desserts. Thank goodness for so much space because we had a line of people for our ice cream cart, while having so much room for people to dance at the same time. If we could have another wedding there, we would! Maybe for a future anniversary. I highly recommend this venue!!!

There are a multitude of trees providing shade and many have signs showing when they were first planted, which provides some interesting history of this area.

Wright Park is truly one of Tacoma's gems! It's a 33-acre urban park that feels like a mix between…read morea botanical garden and a community gathering space. The moment you step in, you're surrounded by towering, hundred-year-old trees from all over the world that give the park a magical, shaded atmosphere. It's not just a park, it's also an arboretum, so tree lovers will appreciate the variety and history here. At the heart of it all is the Seymour Conservatory, a Victorian-style glasshouse that looks like it belongs in a storybook. Inside, you'll find a lush collection of tropical plants, seasonal floral displays, and even quirky additions like cacti and Golden Dart Frogs (fun fact: in the wild, they're considered the most poisonous frogs on Earth, but here they're safe since their diet is different). Beyond the conservatory, the park has a beautiful lily pond, fountains, open lawns perfect for picnics, and plenty of walking paths. It's also very family-friendly with playgrounds and lots of space to run around. Wright Park has that perfect mix of history, nature, and community. Whether you're here to stroll among the century-old trees, relax by the pond, or pop into the conservatory, it's easily one of Tacoma's most picturesque hidden gems. Best part? Admission is free, with a donation box available if you'd like to support it.

There's a building that has some really cute turtles and frogs and there are animal costumes for the kiddies. As for the adults? There's a walking trail that goes around the lake. It's pretty short, but if you go around a few times you can get a nice walk in. It's very shaded and I will definitely be coming here more when Summer comes.

I actually saw a local mom influencer post about it on Instagram and decided to visit with my kids! The Discovery Pond playground is super cute and was a hit with my kids (5 and 3). It's all nature themed, of course, with fun slides and climbing structures, as well as a small playground off to the side of the main playground. In addition, there's fun trails for the kids to explore surrounding the playgrounds that I felt comfortable enough letting them check out on their own since the whole area is pretty condensed and it's easy to hear/see them. There looked to be some pond areas that were all dried up. From past photos I think there are normally some frogs and bugs and other things that sometimes fill up these ponds, but it being the start of the hot season they are pretty baren. Would be cool to come back and check out in the fall! I also appreciate the amount of benches and picnic tables around the playground, as we were able to snag a shaded one that the kids could have their lunch at and take a break from running around. After we played and had lunch at the playground, we went on the little half mile ish trail behind the info center. It was mostly flat and very easy for the kids. The hit was definitely the bridge that goes over a large pond where we were able to spot several turtles, tadpoles, ducks, etc. We didn't pay attention to the time and missed out on going inside of the info center (it closes at 2) so that will be on the list for next time as well. Overall such a cute little spot that we'll I'm sure we'll hit up several times this summer!

I'm kinda surprised that I never made it in before the baby shower, because this spot is pretty close to home. Parking is easy with several lots around the area and also street parking out front of the brewery (if you're lucky enough to snag one). This place is huge! Super open concept and I can definitely see how they manage to host events here on a regular basis. Also love the vibe here and the string lights, it just makes everything feel cozy. They have lots of board games, corn hole, and a steel tip dart board for people to enjoy. They're also kid-friendly which is nice to note for future visits (sorry if you're one of those people who doesn't like kids at breweries, we're still rollin' up). Service was great while we were here as well. Their beer selections are solid and I enjoyed their hazy. They also have a cider or two on tap as well as a seltzer, if I'm remembering correctly. They have a good selection of canned wines as well. Overall this is a solid brewery and with it being close to home, I'm sure we'll be back a few times this summer!

There are things I enjoy about all the major theater chains- I like regal for the different movie…read moreformats they have (some regal locations have IMAX, Screen X and 4DX which all add to the enjoyment of the movie), the staff are usually very friendly plus I love the "Drips by Pepsi" drinks at Regal theaters as they have fun drink flavors like a cotton candy lemonade with popping cotton candy boba and actual cotton candy as well as a Cherry Pepsi boba drink topped with cold foam and mini marshmallows so if your taste buds are adventurous like mine that's something you might enjoy... then there's the AMC theater in Lakewood Towne Center that features reclining seats, some unique food options that stretch beyond classic movie snacks and if you do the ALIST membership you can see up to 4 movies every week yourself for just under $30 a month which is a great value but this Cinemark theater has quickly become my favorite of any of the movie theaters near me! It's a very nice theater in a nicer area of Tacoma, very clean, comfortable, they also had the best pizza of any of the theaters I've been to in Washington thus far but what really matters here are the reclining, heated seats! Yep, their seats not only recline but they can also warm your back and booty up!!! Plus, if you book tickets to a movie in DBOX format and sit in the limited DBOX section of the auditorium, you esentially get a back massage as well because there's vibration synced to the movie with DBOX!!! Ain't nothing more luxurious than watching a movie while reclined with a heated back massage- pardon my language but it's F*CKING AMAZING!!! I think i may need to cancel my AMC ALIST membership and become a member here instead even though the membership here only gives you one movie credit a month but it's also a lower priced movie membership making it a more affordable option, you also save on concessions and if you have a fandango account and link your movie club rewards that's even more savings that add up quicker! Are y'all not convinced to go yet ? RECLINING AND HEATED AND MASSAGING -IF YOU PAY EXTRA AND GET DBOX- SEATS!!!!!!! GOOOOOOOOOOO...you can thank me later ;-)
