GrandLuxe Rail Journeys Coming To Tacoma

So, since we’re on the topic of trains, we just received confirmation that GrandLuxe Rail Journeys will be announcing a route from Tacoma to Wyoming.  GrandLuxe provides private deluxe train trips all over the country and is “noted for its exceptional service, outstanding cuisine, and deluxe, vintage furnishings and appointments.”  From what we hear, they’ll be parked down by the Museum of Glass sometime soon.  I look forward to the official announcement.

    They need to update this list because Spanaway Speedway was turned into a housing development a couple of years ago.

    How about nice urban bike paths connecting many of these destinations to each other. This type of infrastructure would make coming to Tacoma (or choosing to stay in Tacoma) an authentic vacation experience. Driving to Cheney Stadium, driving to Point Defiance, driving to Wright Park, and then driving to Brown’s Point are not very appealing to me in terms of vacation. I’d rather drive away someplace further and stay there a few days!

    We love our mini-staycations. A few days off to make a long weekend, and then we pick an area of town to explore. Last month we sampled the happy hours offered downtown. This month is centered around biking and tall ships. Haven’t decided on next month. Any tips?

    We appreciated the comment about the Spanaway Speedway item — and we’re removing it ASAP! And we’ve now added this item (#85):

    Visit Chase Gardens in Orting, a classic Pacific Northwest-style garden recognized by the Garden Conservancy.

    Love the list Julie! Keep it up – A ‘seasonal’ selection would be great -i.e. Old Town Blues Festival, Blues & Brews, etc.
