South Tacoma Business District

When it comes to transportation, South Tacoma has it all. From historic railroad facilities to new car dealers to custom motorcycles, and everything in between. Located along South Tacoma Way, the South Tacoma Business District has long been meeting the needs of people on the move. This area originally developed around the old Northern Pacific Railroad and will soon be home to a new commuter rail station.

You’ll find flowers for Mom at what just might be Tacoma’s longest-standing flower shop. After a great meal at one the area’s diverse restaurants go shopping for a special antique, find the perfect paint for your bedroom, or pick up some outdoor supplies for that next camping trip.

While wheeled transportation may be king, South Tacoma businesses take care of their pedestrian customers as well. With hundreds of colorful flower baskets, specially installed pedestrian crossing lights, and one of the best collections of public art in the city, everyone will enjoy a stroll through the South Tacoma Business District while they look for that special item.
