Take a different path for a night of entertainment and head over to the Emerald Queen Casino & Hotel in Tacoma. Sure there's plenty of gambling to be had but the real fun begins when you get your ticket to live musical entertainment to see greats like Vince Gill and the Commodores.
Take a detour from popcorn and mega movie venues to check out The Grand Cinema. Meet with friends to chow down on Farrelli's Pizza and watch top ticket independent, art house, and foreign films you won't see anywhere else. Titles have included The Guard, Midnight in Paris and The Whale.
Check out the gorgeous blossoms at the Rhododendron Species Botanical Garden. This colorful outdoor oasis blooms Washington's state flower, the Rhododendron macrophyllum and 600 other blooming rhododendrons, making it the largest garden of its kind in the world.
