Revenge of the Creatives LXXXI

Rainy Days and Sundays, and yes 
Foggy Days... 

The Creatives in Tacoma have 
my attention
The US has been great at Urban Renewal and 
Redevelopment. Usually by bringing in a few 
Cat 9's and leveling the beautiful craftsman 
buildings and replacing it all with new modern 
buildings with a 25 year life span.

Well in Tacoma, Washington the Creatives have 
in the 'Northwest Way', built on the beautiful things 
they already have. Tacoma is full of treasurers built 
between the mid 1800's and the early 1900's. Buildings 
like the venerable old F.S. Harmon & Company 
furniture factory and warehouse. F.S. Harmon 
& Company started its manufacturing business 
in Tacoma in 1909. Today thanks to Creatives
 the Harmon building and others now houses 
the University of Washington Tacoma campus, 
a new and very successful high school, the 
Tacoma School of the Arts, the Harmon Brewing 
Co. and Eatery, to mention only a few treasurers.  
The area is known as the Tacoma Downtown 
Museum and University District, Other delights in 
the district are the WASHINGTON STATE HISTORY 
MUSEUM, the LeMay– America’s Car Museum,  
The Museum of Glass, The Union Station, the 
Broadway Center for the Preforming Arts, The 
Tacoma Art Museum and much more.

Anyway, today was a 'Rainy day and Sunday', so 
we did what all true North Westerners do, walked  
in the rain and ignored the rain, took  photos and 
will take many more over the winter.
