About North

East

North East, located between the Port of Tacoma and the Puyallup River, is a residential and industrial Tacoma neighborhood with working waterfront views and hillside streets. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Portland Avenue E corridor near E 29th Street, where corner markets, taquerias, auto shops, and small storefronts set a practical, lived-in rhythm. Housing ranges from early-20th-century bungalows to modest midcentury homes, often on compact lots with alley access. The shoreline edge reads as cranes, rail lines, and marine terminals, while interior blocks feel quieter and more residential. Thea Foss Waterway and the Foss Waterway Seaport connect the area to Tacoma’s maritime story. Nearby parks and trails add room for walks and bike rides without changing the neighborhood’s working character.

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.
