Tacoma Mall Blvd, South Tacoma

This is a commercial strip - it's not a place for walking around and window shopping. You'll find Best Buy, Home Depot, big music shops, mattress stores, and more. If you look carefully, though, you'll also find a few gems. Peanut Sauce is a great little Thai restaurant and East/West Cafe is one of Tacoma's great family restaurants. Of course, you have to get past Jack in the Box, Hooters, and Tacoma's largest adult entertainment store to get to them.
