I found this video on You Tube while trying to answer that very question. While we don’t actually live in Tacoma, but the next community south, I work and play there, and it just sort of runs together. This is a hoot, though not much of an enticement to move here.
And the answer, per the 2000 census data, is 193,556. Lakewood, my home town, is only 58,211. Seattle’s the big city at 582,454. Now you know.
Let’s play on upmenship
my summer home
As of the census of 2000, there were 426 people, 169 households, and 114 families residing in Tolland, MA
my winter home
The population of Nokomis, FL was 3,334 at the 2000 census
How can you even breath?

That was really cool! Funny how places look different, but in some ways, are just the same …
I was born and raised in the Seattle/Tacoma area. I grew up in Federal Way. We went to Tacoma all the time for stuff.
…And knowing is half the battle…G.I.JOE!
Sorry. I got a kick out of watching the video though, I thought it was all “old timey” footage until I caught sight of a Scion xbx or whatever they’re called.
I’ve only been down there once since moving to Seattle–which is tiny compared to the LA/SoCal metro-city where I grew up :). It’s all about perspective.
Milwaukie, Oregon boasts a whopping 20,490 people, though most people would tie us in to Portland, which has 562,690 folks.
Just realized you’re only a couple hours away – ever get down in my neck of the woods?
I love that!!!
We need to move. The city of Ft Laud has 185,400 cranky folks and the county in which I live Broward boasts 5,463,857 .
Oh yeah, definitely time to move.
