In this episode, Shea risks getting canceled by Seattle loyalists by boldly declaring, “Tacoma is cooler than Seattle.” Yep, it’s happening. Join us as we count down 13 of Tacoma's unique claims to fame—from winning the Northern Pacific Railroad’s western terminus to being home to Stadium High School (an actual castle!), the world’s largest octopuses, and even inspiring Frank Herbert to write Dune.
We’ll also cover iconic landmarks like the Tacoma Narrows Bridge and local legends that put Seattle’s Space Needle to shame.
So if you're ready to dive into a lively (and potentially controversial) love letter to Tacoma, buckle up!
Highlights:
- Tacoma wins the Northern Pacific Railroad western terminus battle.
- Stadium High School’s castle-like beauty.
- How Dune author Frank Herbert found inspiration in Tacoma’s landscapes.
- The Tacoma Narrows Bridge and its place in history.
- Meet the world’s largest octopuses, right off the shores of Tacoma.
