The North Slope/Stadium District in Tacoma is plentiful in history, named after the Stadium High School, a historic landmark – It’s the closest we get to having our own Hogwarts Castle. It was the filming location for many of the scenes in the 1999 movie 10 Things I Hate About You. It’s not the only thing to appreciate about this area though. There’s quick access to the waterfront, parks, dining and shopping a plenty!
The sellers specifically mentioned, “There are so many things to do in the area. Walk to Wright Park, Stadium, cycling to the waterfront and downtown Tacoma would have to be some of my favorites.”
Wright Park is ideal for a leisurely stroll or a quick jog, and is very popular in the summer months as it has a sprayground, playground and plenty of picnic tables. This 27 acre arboretum is home to a rich collection of more than 600 trees – stunning in both the spring & summer when they’re ample and bright green, and impressive in the fall as they change from green to feuille-morte of autumn foliage.
The Stadium District has just about everything you could ask for and is only 4 minutes away. The seller left you, dear reader, a little tip on the the best places to dine, “Rhein Haus is a stone’s throw away, their giant pretzels are ridiculous. Additionally there is a local tavern, Hank’s, that makes a mean pizza pie.” Some other eateries and amenities that you should know about are – Parkway Tavern, Indo Asian Street Eatery, Shake, Shake, Shake, Art House Cafe, La Bella Nail Spa, The Copper Door, Stadium Thriftway, Morrell’s Dry Cleaners, King’s Books and so much more!
Frisko Freeze a Tacoma landmark, quick-serve spot, with retro style & a choice of drive-thru or walk-up ordering and is in quick walking distance. If you have a hankering for a burger late at night, they have you covered!
If you need more options, head east down Division Ave, which will turn into 6th Ave, another Tacoma staple. Some honorable mentions include – MSM Deli (one bite and you’ll know why they’re called ‘Magical Sandwich Makers’!), Jazzbones – a great spot for taking in some music, Dirty Oscar’s Annex – not just for great cocktails, but they have a wicked brunch. Check their Facebook page for rotating specials and The Red Hot – creative hot dogs and ample craft beers. Plus dozens of other amenities on 6th Ave you don’t want to miss out on!
I -705 is just 5 minutes away and it will give you easy access to I-5 and WA-16 for commuting.

This home sits between both Steilacoom and Lakewood, giving you easy access to fun on the beach and all the amenities you’d need like shopping & dining.
Just a short 8 minute drive and you’re at Sunnyside Beach in Steilacoom – an ocean front park with 1400 ft. of shoreline plus a playground, volleyball court, trails, picnic facilities and a spectacular view of the sound. On a clear, sunny day, you can catch a glimpse of the Tacoma Narrows Bridge. This will become your favorite summer go-to spot! The seller said “We loved taking family walks to Sunnyside beach park to pick blackberries and to Fort Steilacoom Park for fun times at the playground and dog park.”
At the start of summer you can also look forward to the Steilacoom Farmers Market – June 14th is opening day! They have farm and fresh-cut flower vendors, food trucks, specialty foods, and local artisans. Just six minutes away on Lafayette Street and a few blocks from the beachfront.
Another little quick outdoor adventure that’s less than a mile away is Farrell’s Marsh Wildlife Area. It’s heavily wooded, with many trails and has 3,500 feet of fresh-water shoreline, has 3 viewpoints and trail goers have often spotted blue herons on their hike.

I asked the seller, “If you were having lunch or dinner out near the home, where would you go and what is your favorite menu item there?” They said, “There are so many great places to eat close by, we enjoy Sunny Teriyaki (salmon or chicken teriyaki), Great Cuisine of India (Korma or Vindaloo) and for a lunchtime destination the new gem we found was Gyro Shack.” All of these eateries are around the Lakewood Towne Center and only a brief 5 mile drive.
