After checking into your accommodation of choice, you’ll probably want to venture out and explore. If you’re eager to check out the beaches, head to Owen Beach or Saltwater State Park for some relaxation by the water. Experience the area’s festivals and live music, and make time for local attractions like Joint Base Lewis-McChord and Pantages Theater. For even more to see and do, pay a visit to Tacoma Art Museum or University of Washington Tacoma.
