Commencement Bay Bed & Breakfast, Tacoma, Washington
Enjoy an elegantly decorated traditional colonial home overlooking scenic north end Tacoma--just 30 miles south of Seattle. Breathtaking bay and mountain views are everywhere--from guest rooms, the dining room, and the fireside livingroom area. "Oh what a sunrise!"
All three rooms are quite large and each has different, comfortable decor with top quality queen-size beds, roomy closet or dresser space, and bedside reading lights. Guests can relax either with a magazine by the fire, in a secluded outdoor hot tub in the lovely garden, taking a spin on the mountain bicycles, or in the casual game room with TV/VCR (and nearly 100 videos to choose from!).
Transportation available to nearby universities or downtown business areas. Close to several nice waterfront parks, jogging/hiking trails, great restaurants, quaint shops (including antiques), and easy freeway access. Different gourmet coffees or teas served daily!
Featured in "Fodors" Northwest Travel Guide, "Best Places to Kiss," "Top 40 Northwest Sweetheart Getaways," and "B&B Inns: Best of the West Coast." Tacoma's oldest licensed B&B.
