Our mission is to encourage enjoyment of Tacoma's waterfront....
January 2012 notice:
Congratulations to San Antonio assistant city manager T.C. Broadnax. Tacoma City Council voted to offer him the job of Tacoma City Manager.
San Antonio is home to the famed Riverwalk
Tacoma SMP update
The Tacoma City Council voted and approved the new zoning rules which will control our shorelines.
Thank you to all who wrote and spoke to City Council. Connecting our Ruston Way waterfront sidewalk with Thea Foss esplanade is now a priority in the Shoreline Master Program Update.
Our waterfront belongs to you where ever you live. Tacoma will be better with a continuous, sea–level, connected walkway and bikeway between the Tacoma Dome, Museums and University and Point Ruston, Point Defiance Park and Zoo.

Amendments to the Shoreline Master Program Update
Tacoma Shoreline Master Program Update
Tacoma has 7 miles of sea level shoreline between the Dome-Museum-UWT-Convention Center district and Point Defiance Park and Zoo.
Much of this waterfront has public access ... but it is not continuous. There are missing links along our waterfront.
Extending Ruston Way's Urban Conservancy S-6 shoreline zoning will help fill the gap between Thea Foss boardwalks and Ruston Way's sidewalks.
Zoning for parks and esplanade along the shore will help protect and encourage collective stewardship of our fragile and beautiful shoreline with its returning eelgrass fringing beds and intertidal biodiversity.

The Tacoma Planning Commission unanimously voted to extend Ruston Way Urban Conservancy S-6 shoreline zoning through Chinese Reconciliation Park, Tahoma Salt Marsh and the natural crescent beach at Sperry Ocean Dock on August 17, 2011.
We are delighted to post the link for the News Tribune August 15, 2011 editorial.

We will deliver your letters to the Tacoma City Council and the new City Manager who should be protecting and planning for the best interest of Tacoma, now and into the future.
It is critical that we continue to speak up to protect a flat, beautiful, sea level waterfront walkway and bikeway connecting the Thea Foss esplanade with the sidewalks and parks along Ruston Way.

Thank you to all who have written letters and spoken at public meetings to help accomplish this.
We support extending the S-6 Urban Conservancy zone, preserving and upholding the Ruston Way Plan and Foss Waterway Design and Development Plan, and completing the Dome to Defiance shoreline walkway and bikeway.
Continuing the vision ... realizing our potential
