There is a lot happening in downtown Tacoma this holiday season, and many ways to get there. Leave your car home and enjoy these events with a walk or bike ride. Or try riding transit – 18 local Pierce Transit bus routes serve downtown, and the Tacoma Link light rail runs every 12 minutes most of the day between the theater district and Tacoma Dome Station. On your way in, stop at one of the many local shops for great holiday gifts.
