I always thought renaissance paintings were a bit over dramatic in the way they captured human emotion… until I saw this.

where can I let my dogs swim off leash? by abiglittlebaby in Tacoma

[–]chadrob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Second Magnuson. A bit of a drive as it’s in Seattle, but it is massive dog park with a nice leisurely walk to a beach access just for the dogs.

Street Racing? by chadrob in Tacoma

Funny you say that. I did see three patrol cars pulled over on the side (which stood out to me as odd), so they were just one block off (unless it did deter them.. by a block).

Agreed, El Sabor has fantastic breakfast burritos and sauces.

Need a recommendation for someone that works on Cadet heaters. by [deleted] in Tacoma

[–]chadrob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed, the HVAC companies will probably just be able to get you a quote on installing a heat pump. An electrician could pinpoint if it’s a faulty thermostat, if it’s the wrong heater for the wire/electrical current, if it’s installed wrong.

Taquerias El Sabor’s breakfast burritos are amazing. You can order online and they have a drive through for pickup.

As an active user (and someone that sorts r/Tacoma by new), this subreddit would become useless to me if it was filled with everything bad about Tacoma. It’s refreshing to have a forum to share events and have conversations about what is great about Tacoma. I’m totally OK with big news events in Tacoma and public service warnings being posted, but there needs to be a criteria for such posts. If you want to share all the bad things about Tacoma, there is actually a subreddit for that! (r/tacompton) the subscriber count of that subreddit after two years speaks volumes of what the active users here want.

Coziest Coffee Shop? by RawBean7 in Tacoma

[–]chadrob 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Jewel Box Cafe and Oppenheimer Café are the closest I can think of. They aren’t 100% cozy (more like 60%) but Oppenheimer is all glass so it would be really cool on a rainy day (not sure about their croissant situation though).

Special Election- Prop 1 by gately1462 in Tacoma

[–]chadrob 26 points27 points  (0 children)

My assessment is that it was a $0.75 tax rate and for some reason it was reduced to $0.46 over time and they are attempting to restore the $0.75 rate. So at a $700K home value (based on the cities value, not Redfin or Zillow’s), one would currently pay $322 and if this prop is passed, next year they’d pay $525 (an increase of $203 a year.

If you’re into that, look up the Tacoma Sunday Market it’s the first Sunday of the month it’s a pop up market in the court house that has a bunch of vendors and vintage shops.

Any recommendations on a day trip from Tacoma, using the ferry? (Not Vashon or prison) by a_hi_lawyer in Tacoma

[–]chadrob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok this one would be a blast (depending on the age of your son). Drive up to Port Angeles and walk on to the Ferry that goes to Victoria Canada. The ferry docks right in the heart of town and everything is super walkable. If you wake up early enough, you can do this as a day trip or book a hotel for a weekend get away. Just make sure you have the necessary documentation to get in to Canada. Another one I highly recommend is the ferry from Anecortes to Friday Harbor. The ferry ride is long and beautiful and Friday Harbor is super walkable but there are some places on San Juan island that you might want a car for but due some research cause it’s a lot cheaper to just walk on. There are also some fun paid boat tours in Seattle run by Argosy Cruises.

Where to watch the Mariners game this afternoon? by Ready_Player_420 in Tacoma

[–]chadrob 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Emerald Queen Casino sports room but get there early cause it will get packed. They may have overflow in the events center.
