Happy pre-Martin Luther Jr. Day weekend, hopefully a three day one you will be able to get out and enjoy around Tacoma.
Pretty much everyone loves a bargain and when that is combined with the beautiful parks, expositions or events, there is plenty to do that is both fun and affordable.
We enjoy the Greater Seattle on the Cheap blog and are sharing this information from their site, both for our readers ease and to acquaint you with what is available that you might be not aware of.
