Never change Tacoma.

See all I know about Tacoma is from Shadowrun and I assumed that they were exaggerating

Nah we're like this.

All I know about Tacoma is from the funny comedy, "Tacoma FD"

I assumed everybody would think of the collapsed suspension bridge when they hear the name Tacoma but that's probably just a civil engineers' thing

I’m triggered when people say it smells. The “aroma of Tacoma” was a paper mill in Puyallup, god damn it.

It's something losers who never got off I-5 say

The smell was Nalley Valley - we used to drive around it to get to my grandmother's house in Fircrest. It was... memorable.

I disagree. The paper plant had way more to do with it and even then it had to be low tide.

I have no problems with the pickle smell. Its an acquired taste.

damianaswan.bsky.social•454 days ago

... it didn't smell like pickles.

I wouldn’t describe pulp mills that way. Maybe “plant-based wet dog”.
I learned or inferred all my Washington stereotypes from “Almost Live”. They touched upon the subject…

Just what a copper wire would say

“People, they laugh when they hear you're from my town,
They say it's a sour and used up ol' place,
I've defended its honor, I shrugged off the put-downs,
You know that you're poor, from Tacoma”
