The Area

Northwest College of Art and Design is located at 1126 Pacific Ave, in a seven-story modern office building in the heart of downtown Tacoma, Washington (just 30 miles south of Seattle). It is situated along the shore of the Puget Sound and within sight of Mount Rainier.

Tacoma is a main hub of business activity for the South Puget Sound region. Many major employers are located in this area, including State Farm Insurance, Columbia Bank, DaVita, MultiCare Health System, Boeing, Comcast Cable, Intel Corporation, and more.

Places to Experience

Downtown Tacoma has a diverse mix of museums, businesses, professional service firms, and fine restaurants.

Great places to visit in Tacoma are Point Defiance Park (and the popular Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium), the Tacoma Art Museum, Washington State History Museum, Foss Waterway Seaport Museum, and the newly expanded Children’s Museum of Tacoma.
