Tacoma, the "City of Destiny," is home to about 220,000 residents and is the second-largest city in the Seattle metro. Its port, run with Seattle as the Northwest Seaport Alliance, is one of the largest container gateways on the West Coast, and nearby Joint Base Lewis-McChord is one of the country's largest military installations, so freight, commuter and military traffic all move through the city every day.
Billboards here reach heavy traffic on I-5, SR-16 toward the Tacoma Narrows Bridge and Gig Harbor, SR-167, SR-509 and I-705 into downtown, along with busy local roads such as Pacific Avenue, South 38th Street, 6th Avenue, Union Avenue, South 19th Street and Portland Avenue. Strong placements include the Tacoma Mall area along I-5 and 38th Street, the Tacoma Dome and its concert crowds, downtown's Theater District and Museum District (Pantages and Rialto theaters, the Museum of Glass, Tacoma Art Museum and Washington State History Museum), and routes near Point Defiance Park and Zoo, Cheney Stadium, the University of Washington Tacoma, the University of Puget Sound and the city's major hospitals.
