It is located prominently in downtown Tacoma, right along Pacific Avenue near the Tacoma Art Museum, Washington State History Museum, and Chihuly Bridge of Glass. From the outside, the building is stately and eye-catching with its large, sweeping arches and brick exterior. From the inside, it's even more beautiful, though, with the largest collection of Dale Chihuly artwork in town - and it's completely free to come in and see it. Photo I.D. is required for entry.

The ghosts of trains and travelers still haunt these hallowed halls. In its heyday this was THE…read moremain commuter train station for Tacoma. With the decline in rail service due to a variety of reasons we will NOT go into here, the need for these large cathedrals of transit diminished and the budget money better spent elsewhere. Thankfully the structure was NOT demolished like NYC did to Penn Station and so many other of these architectural gems throughout the country. Instead it was turned into a courthouse. Tell the guard at the door you'd just like to look around, and he will run you through the metal detector and you can wander pretty much at will. One flight down you find a small, and I mean VERY small museum of sorts. Encased behind several in-wall glass cases, you will find the remnants of old tickets, route flyers, and old devices like an old telegraph ticker. Although, I am sure they had telephones when they shut down service in the 60s. I only wish the museum had been more extensive. Or that maybe they would have had an actual train there or something. Dream on. If you really are a train buff and you want to see stuff like that, you can search for train museums here on Yelp, Like the Northwest train Museum. Anyway, I wouldn't go out of my way to go see this, but, If you're in downtown Tacoma and curious like I was, and enjoy older architecture, then, it is worth a look. It's really only about a 20 minute proposition. Oh, there is a giant Chihuly hanging in the main concourse. You can't miss it. Also. apparently they are a wedding venue. So if you're getting hitched (no pun intended) in Tacoma, you might want to take a look too.

I have used the Tacoma Dome Station a fair amount of times to use the bus routes going to downtown…read moreSeattle and Sea-Tac airport. Over all I got no complaints. The bus arrival times are usually punctual but not always but it's safe to say that they are fairly reliable. For downtown I kind of plan it out prior to see what Seattle neighborhoods I will be going to and if the Seattle light rail will cover those areas. If so, then this is a super efficient way to get around to where you want to go. And if I wanted to go somewhere where the light rail doesn't cover there definitely would be a bus but usually I am simply trying to make the travel route as simple as possible. As far as going to the airport? Super smooth practically every time. We get off at the Skybridge stop... I believe International Blvd. stop and once you are across the skybridge. Boom! There you are. Since it is Tacoma we are dealing with over the various times we have used this stop some minor security concerns arise with some people that loiter there and have no intention of using transit but we personally had no unfortunate experiences but I am sure plenty of unfortunate experiences do go down here.

There are some legit restaurants at this station. Nothing fancy, just food mall type places, all independent. My favorite is the Indian food place because that food is amazing. There's also some cool places nearby, like the afternoon tea place around the corner and the Filipino restaurant up the hill. It's kind of a food ghetto over there and I'm all about that.

My friend told me that we were gonna catch the light rail to go to Lumen Field for the Seahawks football game, and he also mentioned to me that we could also stop by Pike Place Market to "holo-holo", as the light rail would take us all the way to where we needed to go. I guess the light rail system has been used in Seattle for sometime now, as I could see there were lots of rail stations throughout the city. The station that we used to get onto the rail was the - Angle Lake Station, because it was the closest station in proximity to where my friend lived. The Angle Lake Station had a very large parking garage. After parking our car, it was a breeze to get onto the light rail & make our way to Pike Place Market, as well as Lumen Field. I can see how effective it is when light rail is built, & utilized properly. It certainly saved us a lot of money in the sense that we didn't have to look for parking while attending the Seahawks game, as I saw some parking places charging like $90.00 for game day parking. More rail stations are still being constructed, and my friend said he couldn't wait till the rail station in Federal Way is finished.
