Tacoma Tourism Board Launches 3-Day 'PNW Starter Pack' Travel Itinerary
Tacoma, Wash. – September 20, 2026 -- Visit Tacoma-Pierce County has released a three-day travel itinerary called the "PNW Starter Pack," mapping out a route through Tacoma, Lakewood, Steilacoom, Puyallup and Sumner for visitors wanting a compact introduction to the region.
The itinerary mixes art, food and outdoor stops rather than a standard sightseeing checklist. It includes browsing vintage shops, touring a coffee roastery, eating seafood on the waterfront and spending time on small-town main streets.
Tacoma Art Museum anchors the region's cultural stops
The museum is positioned as a way to view the American West through art and regional perspectives. The route also highlights historic buildings that have been converted into restaurants, music venues and overnight lodging, alongside independent shops and neighborhood eateries.
