Tacoma City Map Poster

About this print

Tacoma map poster

Tacoma sits on the southern reaches of Puget Sound, where Commencement Bay opens toward the water and, on clear days, Mount Rainier rises over the city. This Watercolor edition turns Tacoma's street map into a soft, painterly piece of wall art, suited to anyone who has called the city home, grown up nearby, or simply fallen for its mix of working waterfront and quiet residential hills.

The city has a character all its own. There is the long history of the port and the rail lines that shaped its growth, the brick and glass of the downtown museum district, and the old-growth forest and shoreline trails of Point Defiance Park at the city's northern tip. The Tacoma Narrows Bridge spans the water to the Kitsap Peninsula, and neighborhoods climb away from the bay with views that change with the weather. A map of these streets can bring back a first apartment, a favorite walk along Ruston Way, a family house, or the drive in on the interstate with the Dome in sight.

The Watercolor style gives the city a gentle, hand-painted feel that sits comfortably in a living room, hallway, office, or bedroom. It works as a housewarming gift for someone settling in, a send-off for a friend moving away, or a reminder of a place that left a mark. The print is meant as decorative art rather than a guide for getting around, a way to keep a little of Tacoma close wherever it hangs.
