 If you want nature, live entertainment, views to die for, a buffalo burger or an authentic old fashioned milk shake look no further than the Ruston Pt Defiance Business District.
At the entrance to Pt Defiance Park, this neighborhood district has the distinction of being our northernmost business district—it is also the only one located in the City of Tacoma, and in the Town of Ruston. Located on both sides of North Pearl Street, you’ll never know it straddles the boundary between the two municipalities—you will feel right at home on either side of the street!
Businesses in Ruston Pt Defiance are a little smaller, kind of friendlier and bit more old fashioned than the bigger shopping centers to the south. Antiques, used books about American History, exotic plants and a sandwich shop that offers open mike poetry and singing—all offer a relaxed, warm and small town experience.
But don’t let that laid back attitude fool you. Ruston Pt Defiance is the gateway for regionally important events at Pt Defiance Park, for new development at Pt Ruston and their very own annual Music Fest featuring, what else, music!
So if you’re looking for variety wrapped up in relaxing entertainment, Ruston Pt Defiance is your place—times two. |
