About West

End

West End, located between Point Defiance Park and the Narrows Bridge, is a residential and waterfront Tacoma neighborhood with evergreen bluffs and saltwater views. The neighborhood’s character concentrates along 6th Avenue near Pearl Street, where coffee counters, neighborhood pubs, and small eateries keep the sidewalks active. Mid-century ramblers and view-oriented homes share the hills with pockets of classic Tacoma bungalows. Point Defiance Park sets the outdoor rhythm with forest trails, beaches, and the waterfront promenade. The Narrows Bridge frames daily scenery and links the area to the Kitsap Peninsula. Local staples like The Beach Tavern, Boathouse 19, and the Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium anchor the social calendar.

Urban Residential District

This district is intended primarily for residential development including a range of dwellings and housing types reasonably compatible with the scale (size, width and height) of detached houses and reflecting residential patterns such as pedestrian orientation, yards, and space between buildings. Buildings may occupy a little more of each residential lot than in the UR-1 District. Other compatible uses include residential businesses and community facilities including parks, schools and religious facilities. The district is characterized by low to moderate activity levels, limited vehicular traffic, trees and other green features, and complete streets supporting transportation choices. The UR-2 District is generally located within easy walking distance of Centers, Corridors, parks and/or schools.
