Have No Fear, Downtown Tacoma is Great!

1552 Commerce Ave., Suite 101
Tacoma, WA 98402

 NOTICE:  Our Address was changed in 2007. City of Tacoma will now list our address as:
                                   1552 Commerce, Suite 101
                                  Tacoma, WA 98402

Some directories have us listed as 1552 Jefferson, suite 101. Due to construction in 2001 Commerce is in front of our building now not Jefferson. Also note there are no 1600 addresses between 15th and 17th. Why does Tacoma do this? We are at the corner of 17th, Commerce and Jefferson.

Between the Tacoma Convention Center & UWT
6 storey brick Carlton Center, next to TWOKOI Japanese Cuisine
We share the same double front doors as TWOKOI

Around the corner from Grassi's Flower Gift & Garden Cafe
Down Jefferson Ave. from the Old Spaghetti Factory
A Little bit more down Jefferson from the Swiss
There is a commemorative gas lamp on the grass area in front of the building

We have a "Tacoma Art Supply" sign on the window (like the logo above)
