The City of Tacoma has a wealth of wonderful murals, many of them recent. This one is located at 38th Street & Portland Ave (3804 Portland Avenue) and the lead artist is Chris Sharp. Participating artists include Shanna Duncan, Asia Tail and Patricia Vazquez Gomez.

As I was taking some photos of the mural, two young men came up to me and asked me to take their photo!
I was looking for photos of this online and found yours. do you mind if I use use your photos for a small presentation? thank you for taking the time to document this work. I drive by this wall often but I haven’t stopped in a while.
Sure, I’d be delighted to be of help 😀 Thanks for doing great art!
