Tacoma, Wash. – September 20, 2026 -- Visit Tacoma-Pierce County has released a three-day travel itinerary called the "PNW Starter Pack," mapping out a route through Tacoma, Lakewood, Steilacoom, Puyallup and Sumner for visitors wanting a compact introduction to the region.

The itinerary mixes art, food and outdoor stops rather than a standard sightseeing checklist. It includes browsing vintage shops, touring a coffee roastery, eating seafood on the waterfront and spending time on small-town main streets.
