Reply:down-town Tacoma but it`s kinda ghetto. I`d go up to Seattle,you`ll have a larger variety and higher class people.Tacoma to me it`s depressing,not much to do and once again: GHETTO. Sad but true!
Reply:There is a UW campus in downtown Tacoma that has lots of people your age there. There's also a really fun bar called Chopstix that opened fairly recently in Tacoma. It's a dueling piano bar and a lot of fun. The Mall there gets a lot of traffic as well. I'd stay away from 17 year old girls if I were you, though. Stick to girls over 18 to be safe.
