But Tacoma is now considered a hip city with a ton of breweries and arts and crafts shops. Lots more apartments/condos on the water as opposed to a more industrialized feel it had before.

Yup, started out in SD as a music ed major. A woman messed with my head and I took some time off. Some turned into nearly a decade after a summer from hell including losing everything in a house fire in Illinois...so when I needed a fresh start, I remembered what I'd read about Eugene (UO was my first college choice, but out of state tuition originally killed that idea) and moved there, eventually finishing my degree there.
Tacoma was definitely industrial when I was there, but I still liked it. I'm a nature guy so I spent more time hiking the foothills of Rainier than time in the city when I had time off.
gotta love 'referential' treatment
