This book presents the incredible history of Tacoma, the county seat of Pierce County, Washington, United States. Tacoma got its name from the nearby Mount Rainier, a huge active stratovolcano, originally and locally called Takhoma or Tahoma. It is known as the “City of Destiny” because the area was selected to be the western terminus of the Northern Pacific Railroad during the late 19th century. The writers included vivid descriptions of the areas that leave a long-lasting impact on the readers and entertained them with the curiosities and less known facts and stories. In addition, the work also contains the biographies of the most famous people that lived there.
