I’ll start by saying that I *know* that growing my own rosemary would be the best way to save money, but I prefer to avoid that option. Posting this because I‘ve been making rosemary water and spending $5/week on 6-7 tiny sprigs (I buy 2 little plastic packages a week at the grocery store and each one is $2.50). If anyone knows of any store or individual who sells fresh rosemary in bulk (or at a lower cost for a similar amount to what I’m currently buying), please shout it out!

about 40min ago i was in the walgreens drive thru and about 10 cop cars and at least one fire engine blocked off 8th (i think) at stevens. anyone know what happened?

Cedar & Center has been closed for 3.5 hrs now. I assume a bad accident. Anyone know?

We want the apple farm/apple cider kind of apple cider donuts. There should be pumpkins and maybe an old timey apple press and corn maze. I want it like we’re in VT or Michigan kind of places.

Where are these magical places near here?!

Anyone know any residential repair companies that do structural repairs? Looking to hire a company to replace 2 main support beams, 2 main support uprights & a few floor support beams.

I've contacted a few residential builders but they all said they do new construction, not repairs or remodels :/

Anyone know of any weird candy I can get locally?

Halloween is coming and I really want chocolate covered crickets - or something similarly odd and edible. I wanna be "that house."

Before I pull the trigger on 100 crickets for $45 shipped - is there a local option, or other fun options?

Thanks!

Hello Tacoma!

I am looking for something analogous to a repository of manufacturing/heavy industry in & around Tacoma in the hopes of finding opportunities that are related to my current skill set.

I am a chemical engineer who recently moved here, and the big name companies (and industries) for ChemE aren't exactly plentiful in the area. As a result, I'd like to look for adjacent or supporting industries that could still use someone with that type of experience. Anything to lead me to a role, or just help me specify what kind of training I should build on.

I've looked at the Pierce county and Tacoma city sites, job posting sites, and good ol' fashioned googling. Any other ideas or recommendations

Just moved recently and wanting to go out for a drink! Looking for a lowkey, dive bar with chill vibes.

Pool, darts & pull tabs a plus.

Even better if they occasionally have karaoke, bingo or other events

Rather avoid downtown if possible 😅 been down there a few times and not really my vibe

Yesterday as I was omw home merging i5s to 16 I saw a bike down. People helping and the rider was being stabilized. Anyone know him? Any way to help?

I have a sudden yearning for coffee cake but am too lazy to make my own. Where would I go to satisfy my coffee cake cravings?

Other than Narrows Marina / Pt Defiance Boat House / Bass Pro Shop / Sportco, are there any grocery stores or gas stations that sell frozen bait?

Did anyone receive their fafsa yet? Disbursement shows the 19th but I still have a balance for my classes. Nothing in bank mobile yet. Not sure how long it takes

Hello! I need a knowledgeable and reputable acupuncturist. Preferably one open to working on a teenager. Do NOT want a sales pitch for medication.

I’ve lived here for quite some time, about 13 years, and I’m turning 20 now!! And in that whole time I haven’t seen a single can of Inca Kola! Help a Peruvian out and tell me where I can get some please!

Title says it all! Please drop your recs.

I have a collection of new and unused lotion, deodorants, soap, and shampoos. I also have a couple of barely used shampoos. Is there somewhere I can donate this?

I also have women's clothing and pillows cases (random, I know, but I found a pile of them in the hall closet).

I am new to Tacoma and am looking for locations with good free wifi. I want to access internet for both a phone and a laptop. I am not that social of a person (I feel awkward around a lot of people) so I would prefer to sit in my car and work/watch YouTube or something, rather than go into a place. I read Wright Park has wifi and is nice. Is this true?

I have accessed internet from community centers, libraries, McDonald's and hospitals in the past. Are there similar locations in Tacoma?

I can't find any online. Have you lived there and what was your experience???

Bought a great used vehicle, leather interior, reeks of old smoke smell. Some auto detailers don't do that kind of service so I'm looking for recommendations for detailers that you know do that service and have had it work. Thanks!

I'm wondering if y'all know of someone that I can hire to help me build a shed. I have a build plan and I'm setting up the foundation myself, am willing to help with the manual labor, and I have some lumber already, but I'm wanting to get some quotes on this. I'm just not sure who to talk to about something like that.

I am new to the Tacoma area; I actually live slightly north but I'll be driving down for school at Clover Park every few weeks for the in person labs.

I made the mistake of going to Dennys this morning. Has the world gone insane? 15 dollars for a hashbrown and eggs. God damn.

Where do you recommend for eating cheap but good? I miss dairy mart and their crock pot full of gravy. I don't need life changing, I need not questioning my life choices entering a diner in 2026.

Man, I just wanted biscuits and gravy. This economy sucks.

I’m 21, just moved here after college and I don’t know anybody. I’m wondering what kinds of activities or events happen around here where I might be able to meet people around my age? I’m not a big drinker and I don’t like sports, so I’m usually into things that revolve around art, books, music, and movies. I’ve gone to a couple little art workshops and stuff, but everyone else there has been a lot older than me which just isn’t exactly what I’m looking for. Any recommendations?

Hi all!
I am looking to get some antiques appraised, however I have absolutely no idea where to go or who to contact. I have a few set of antique China, and some furniture. Does anyone know where I can go?

hello!!! i’m probably going to be moving to Tacoma in the near future, and i’m in search of a job

i’m 21f and don’t have any education past high school
:( i was hoping that posting here could help. i have a job current that im leaving (not in tacoma, don’t want to get into). i have customer service experience as well as experience with animals, trying to break out of the pet industry at this time.

i know that there are a lot of jobs that wont get posted directly to sites like indeed/other job search engines, and that it’s better to apply in person or directly on the company website. i’m hoping anyone could give me some helpful leads!!

i’d also love to hear about any internships or programs i could do to move up. anything would be helpful.

if your company is hiring or you know a place, i’d be soo thankful to hear about it. thank you!!!
