Tacoma offers significant venue infrastructure south of Seattle. The Tacoma Dome provides major capacity while local venues serve this distinctive Puget Sound city.
Tacoma's Dome seats 23,000 in Puget Sound's second city of 220,000. The Pantages Theatre (1,100) and Alma Mater serve mid-size programming while the 'Grit City' revival and waterfront redevelopment reshape cultural identity. Seattle's major venues sit 30 miles north; Tacoma maintains independent music scene.
