Situated along Washington's Puget Sound, Tacoma is the county seat of Pierce County, United States. The port city is 32 miles southwest of Seattle, 31 miles northeast of the state capital, Olympia, and 58 miles northwest of Mount Rainier National Park. The population of the city was 219,346 as of the 2020 census, making it the second-largest city in the Puget Sound area and the third-largest in the state. Tacoma is also the center of business activity for the South Sound region, with a population of approximately 1 million.

The city's name comes from the nearby Mount Rainier, which was taken from a Puget Sound Salish dialect. It is locally referred to as the "City of Destiny" because the area was chosen as the western terminus of the Northern Pacific Railroad in the late 19th century. The city's official elevation varies between sea level and about 500 feet, with an area of 62.34 square miles, of which 49.72 square miles is land and 12.62 square miles is water. The city is located several miles north of Joint Base Lewis-McChord, formerly Fort Lewis and McChord Air Force Base.

In the 1990s, Tacoma began revitalization efforts, particularly in the downtown area. These efforts included various projects, such as the federal courthouse in the former Union Station (1991), the adaptation of a group of century-old brick warehouses into a branch campus of the University of Washington, the Washington State History Museum (1996), the Museum of Glass (2002), the Tacoma Art Museum (2003), and the region's first light-rail line (2003).

Additionally, several privately financed renovation projects were completed near the campus, and the glass and steel Greater Tacoma Convention and Trade Center opened in November 2004. America's Car Museum was also finished in late 2011 near the Tacoma Dome.
