    Downtown Tacoma’s 98402 blends waterfront living with a creative, urban energy. Centered on the Thea Foss Waterway and the Museum District, you’ll find the Museum of Glass, Tacoma Art Museum, and Washington State History Museum, plus the University of Washington Tacoma campus and the Prairie Line Trail threading pocket parks and public art. The T Line streetcar links blocks of walkable streets, from Antique Row and the Pantages and Rialto theaters to McMenamins Elks Temple, 7 Seas Brewing, and a lively dining scene (Indochine, The Social Bar & Grill, Matador, and coffee favorites like Olympia Coffee and Campfire). Groceries and everyday needs are covered by neighborhood markets, the seasonal Broadway Farmers Market, and nearby Stadium Thriftway; workouts are easy at the Downtown Tacoma Y. Locals kayak and paddleboard along the esplanade, catch bay breezes with mountain views, and gather for festivals on Tollefson Plaza. Recent Zillow market trends show a median rent in the upper $1,000s, with most listings over the past few months ranging roughly from the mid-$1,500s to mid-$2,600s.
