Tacoma (/təˈkoʊmə/, US dict: tə·kō′·mə) is a mid-sized urban port city in and the county seat of Pierce County, Washington, United States. The city is on Washington's Puget Sound, 32 miles (51 km) southwest of Seattle, 31 miles (50 km) northeast of the state capital, Olympia, and 58 miles (93 km) northwest of Mount Rainier National Park. The population was 198,397, according to the 2010 census. Tacoma is the second-largest city in the Puget Sound area and the third largest in the state. Tacoma also serves as the center of business activity for the South Sound region, which has a population of around 1 million people.
Tacoma adopted its name after the nearby Mount Rainier, originally called Takhoma or Tahoma. It is locally known as the "City of Destiny" because the area was chosen to be the western terminus of the Northern Pacific Railroad in the late 19th century. The decision of the railroad was influenced by Tacoma's neighboring deep-water harbor, Commencement Bay. By connecting the bay with the railroad, Tacoma's motto became "When rails meet sails." Today, Commencement Bay serves the Port of Tacoma, a center of international trade on the Pacific Coast and Washington State's largest port.
The Tacoma Dome Station is a Sounder train station serving the city of Tacoma, Washington. It was built by Sound Transit along Tacoma Municipal Beltline (Tacoma Rail) tracks in Downtown Tacoma, completed in 2000. The station is also served by ST Express, Pierce Transit and Greyhound buses, as well as Tacoma Link. Intercity Transit routes number 601, 601A, and 603 also serve this station.
The Sounder portion of the station was remodeled from a portion of the existing Freighthouse Square, a shopping center built in a former Milwaukee Road freight station.
From 2000 to 2012, Tacoma Dome Station served as the southern terminus of the Sounder south line.
Tacoma was a steamship that served from 1913 to 1938 on Puget Sound. Built of steel, Tacoma was known for being one of the fastest and best-designed vessels to operate on Puget Sound. Tacoma was particularly noted for high-speed service from 1913 to 1930 on the route between Tacoma and Seattle.
On 12 August 1912, the Puget Sound Navigation Company ("PSN'") contracted with the Seattle Construction and Drydock Company to build for them a passenger vessel which would run at a regular speed of 19 knots and which would be ready for service by 1 March 1913. PSN had decided to replace its fleet of wooden steamers with steel-built replacements, and Tacoma was intended to be the first of a new series of high-speed vessels. Tacoma was designed by James V. Paterson, the president of Seattle Construction and Drydock.
Tacoma was launched on 3 May 1913. The vessel was christened by Florence Lister, daughter of the governor of Oregon. Various dignitaries were brought to the launching in another PSN vessel, the steel steamship Indianapolis, with PSN President Joshua Green on board. Acceptance trials were conducted on 16 June 1913, and the vessel was found capable of 20.78 knots. Later the vessel was found to be capable of running even faster, at 21.5 knots.
Veganism is both the practice of abstaining from the use of animal products, particularly in diet, and an associated philosophy that rejects the commodity status of animals. A follower of veganism is known as a vegan.
Distinctions are sometimes made between several categories of veganism. Dietary vegans (or strict vegetarians) refrain from consuming animal products, not only meat but also eggs, dairy products and other animal-derived substances. The term ethical vegan is often applied to those who not only follow a vegan diet but extend the philosophy into other areas of their lives, and oppose the use of animal products for any purpose. Another term is environmental veganism, which refers to the avoidance of animal products on the premise that the harvesting or industrial farming of animals is environmentally damaging and unsustainable.
The term vegan was coined in 1944 by Donald Watson when he co-founded the Vegan Society in England, at first to mean "non-dairy vegetarian" and later "the doctrine that man should live without exploiting animals." Interest in veganism increased in the 2010s; vegan stores opened, and vegan options became available in more supermarkets and restaurants in many countries.
Wine is sometimes finished with animal products. Specifically, finings used to remove organic impurities and improve clarity and flavour include several animal products, including casein, albumen, gelatin and isinglass.
Wineries might use animal-derived products as finings. To remove proteins, yeast, and other organic particles which are in suspension during the making of the wine, a fining agent is added to the top of the vat. As it sinks down, the particles adhere to the agent, and are carried out of suspension. None of the fining agent remains in the finished product sold in the bottle, and not all wines are fined.
Examples of animal products used as finings are gelatin, isinglass, chitosan, casein and egg albumen. Bull's blood is also used in some Mediterranean countries but (as a legacy of BSE) is not allowed in the U.S. or the European Union. Kosher wines use isinglass derived from fish bladders, though not from the sturgeon, since the kosher status of this fish is in debate .

For me, nothing is better then a day spent trying vegan food, meeting new friends, and promoting compassion for animals! For This Little Vlog Ep. 2, come with me while I explore the streets of Tacoma, WA. Activism has become such a huge part of my life over the last year and I encourage all of you (if you are not already) to look into what opportunities are available in your city! Even if you are not on the streets doing direct action, start a YouTube, Instagram, or Facebook. Anything that you are able to do to be the change and gives the animals a louder voice, I think you should do it. Let me know if I am able to help provide any information on how to BE ACTIVE! *Animal Rights Organization* ANONYMOUS FOR THE VOICELESS http://www.cubeoftruth.com https://www.facebook.com/anonymousfor...
A preview of our Vegan Market that we hold every month at Organically Grown Muscle in Tacoma Washington.
In Opera Alley, chef Deanna Harris has created a dessert that’s paleo, keto-friendly and allergy safe. Over the Moon Cafe is one of Tacoma’s best restaurants.
Hey guys! Here's a little video about the things I ate today! Just letting you know, we didn't mean to be negative about Viva, it was just our honest opinion on the things we ate there. Hopefully you can try it yourself when you are in the area! Much love, Dani INSTAGRAM: @hafadanii
For lunch today, Kenny and I went to Quickie Too in Tacoma. We have been here a few times previously. This was the first time we came for Sunday Brunch, which meant a different menu. Kenny had the Signature Plate, while I had the Country Cousin. Kenny loves the food but I found it too oily and salty for my taste. It shows that you can eat any kind of food as a vegan. For those transitioning from a meat eating lifestyle and are afraid that the food is tasteless or boring, you will be pleasantly surprised. It is not always the same as meat, but it is still delicious. ---------------------------- I'm a high carb vegan, and have been for over 5 years. I lost belly fat and significantly reduced severe acne through becoming vegan. I share videos that I hope will help you on your journey to be...
