Zip code 98407 centers on Tacoma’s North End, blending the village feel of the Proctor District with the waterfront buzz of Point Ruston and the forested trails of Point Defiance Park. Expect a mild marine climate with breezes off Puget Sound, big views, and an easygoing, outdoorsy rhythm—think Proctor Farmers Market Saturdays, Ruston Way promenade jogs, kayaking from Owen Beach, and sunset walks on the Dune Peninsula. Recent Zillow market trends note a steady median rent with a typical range over the past few months, offering everything from cozy apartments to view homes and townhouses. Daily conveniences are close: Metropolitan Market, Safeway and Westgate shops; coffee at Olympia Coffee and Starbucks; treats at Ice Cream Social; and dining along the water at WildFin and Duke’s, plus local taps at Peaks & Pints. Fitness options include Orangetheory at Point Ruston and nearby studios. The area is notably family- and pet-friendly (Point Defiance off-leash area), with walkable Proctor streets and quick access to WA-16 and downtown Tacoma; the University of Puget Sound is just south.
