TACOMA, WA — Tacoma On the Go invites community members to join the next installment of the 2026 Walk Tacoma Series on Wednesday, May 13, from 6:00 to 7:00 PM in downtown Tacoma.
This guided community walk will explore the stories, voices, and contributions that have helped shape Tacoma across generations. Participants will hear from local speakers who bring the city’s history, leadership, and evolving identity to life through personal perspective and shared experience.
