WHAT TO LOVE

If you love highly walkable neighborhoods with personality and a story to tell, the North Slope and Three Bridges communities will quickly win you over. Nestled in the North End between Proctor and the Stadium District, these neighborhoods are two of the oldest and most architecturally significant in the city. In fact, the North Slope Historic District is one of the largest residential historic districts in the Pacific Northwest.

You’ll love the quiet, tree-lined streets and beautifully preserved homes – many of which date back to the late 1800s and early 1900s. Craftsman bungalows, Queen Annes, Tudors, and Colonial Revivals line the blocks, creating a postcard-perfect setting with timeless charm. It's a neighborhood that feels lived-in, loved, and deeply rooted in Tacoma’s history.
