The North Waterfront to Theatre District walk is a part of “Walk Tacoma,” DOTG’s walking series, sponsored by Franciscan Health System and held in April, June and August. The fun, casual walks, now in their third year, encourage downtown employees and residents to exercise and enjoy the outdoors by discovering the different walking routes and parks in downtown Tacoma, and to become more aware of just how walkable downtown is. “We hope downtown employees and residents take a break at lunch on June 22 to join Walk Tacoma to exercise, enjoy downtown, and learn more about their community,” said DOTG Coordinator Meagan Kula. Walk Tacoma encourages physical fitness while including a fun, educational component to the walk. Participants can learn more about the community and the history of downtown Tacoma through the “history walk” or speed up the pace for a great, instructor-led “power walk.”

Walking maps of all of the routes are available at no cost at DOTG, 950 Pacific Ave, Suite 300, at many downtown businesses, or by contacting Meagan Kula at (253) 682-1734 or dotg@tacomachamber.org . More information is online here.
