Sixth Avenue is home to some of Tacoma’s iconic businesses, from cake by the slice at Cat and Rabbitt Cakeshop, to fairies and Tarot at Crescent Moon Gifts, dinner-plate-size donuts at Legendary Doughnuts to dining in Tacoma’s last horse-drawn firehouse at E-9 Firehouse & Gastropub. A mix of history and attitude create this unique and inviting neighborhood that you’re sure to remember. Whether you’re a gamer or a gourmand, Sixth Avenue has something for you. Come visit during one of our many festivals and stay for all that we have to offer.
