Happy Monday 9/13/10! Today I pulled into the University of Washington Tacoma, which is in Tacoma’s historic warehouse district. It’s an older photo, but today’s check in and new place of the day.
This link provides a great deal of information about the historic buildings in this district that houses the University of Washington, Tacoma’s School of the Arts, private businesses, a courthouse and museums (art, history, glass).

This space on Broadway is being used as a set for an indie film called Jesus 4 Less by local filmmaker Sarah Mangum of Aroma Productions. The interior represents a Christian bookstore that in the movie is being run by two atheists.
The space is being used as part of the Spaceworks project that puts temporary art in vacant Tacoma spaces. Check out their website for more art installations.
