About Old
Town
Old Town, located between Commencement Bay and the Stadium District, is a historic and waterfront Tacoma neighborhood with bluff-top views and a working-port edge. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around North 30th Street and Starr Street, where low-slung storefronts, coffee counters, and neighborhood bars set a steady, walkable rhythm. The Spar Tavern anchors the social scene, while Job Carr Cabin Museum and the Old Town Dock tie daily life to Tacoma’s earliest shoreline stories. Homes lean Craftsman and early 20th-century cottages, with stair streets and pocket viewpoints. Ruston Way’s promenade frames the waterline, and the bay’s light shapes the pace year-round.
