Russell and Taylor graciously took the day off from work and led us on an expedition to the fabulous Lemay America's car museum, home to several hundred impeccably restored classic autos. We also toured the University of Washington's impressive Tacoma campus, where Taylor studied. During the course of the morning we recalled our days in Singapore and the delicious food we had there and in Malaysia, which triggered Pavlovian mouth watering for Roti and other Malaysian culinary fare, prompting us to visit a Malaysian restaurant in Belleview, where enjoyed a delicious meal and got our Roti "fix" . Afterwards, we visited Russ's and Tay's lovely new home and were impressed by how quickly they and Andy have renovated it to their liking. A great day!

The Tacoma Dome

The Tacoma Dome is an indoor arena located in Tacoma, Washington, approximately 30 miles south of Seattle.Upon winning an international design competition, local architects McGranahan and Messenger completed the Tacoma Dome in 1983 for $44 million which opened on April 21; the arena seats 17,100 for basketball. 530 feet in diameter and 152 feet tall, and able to seat 23,000, it is the largest arena with a wooden dome in the world.Unlike most other arenas of its size, the arena contains little in the way of fixed seating so as to maximize the flexibility of the seating arrangements and of the shape of the playing field. It can even host American football, albeit with seating reduced to only 10,000.

Union Station, Tacoma

The Union Passenger Station in Tacoma, Washington opened in 1911. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974. It currently serves as a courthouse of the United States District Court for the Western District of Washington. The distinctive architecture, dominated by a copper dome, is a landmark for the area.The last passenger train left Union Station on June 14, 1984, and the abandoned building soon fell into disrepair. In 1987 Congress authorized the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) to lease Union Station for thirty-five years to provide space for the United States District Court for the Western District of Washington. After three years of work, the historic building was completely renovated and restored, and a three-story addition was constructed. The federal courts began occupancy in 1992. The courthouse at Union Station is a highly successful adaptive use of a Tacoma landmark.

Snoqualmie Building (1902)-The University of Washington, Tacoma

The Tacoma campus of U Dub was founded in 1990 and has grown rapidly; it now serves just over 4,000 undergraduates. Many of the campus' stately brick buildings are re-purposed industrial and commercial buildings including the beautiful Snoqualmie Building which once was a power plant. Harnessing the power of the 270-foot Snoqualmie Falls, the Pacific Northwest’s first hydroelectric plant began producing electricity for Tacoma and Seattle in 1899. This building, erected a few years later, housed the giant transformers needed to reduce the voltage coming directly from the plant. The Snoqualmie Falls Power House supplied electricity to most of Tacoma, including the 600 volts needed for the electric trolleys. The power house continued in service until 1958, when it was converted into warehouse space. It was left unused for many years until the University of Washington Tacoma renovated it, built an addition, and transformed it into the university’s library.
