Our quick-witted mayor, Marilyn Strickland, posted this gem on Spaceworks Tacoma’s Facebook page, May 18: “En route to a meeting at the Hotel Murano I was reminded that it does take a village.”
Spaceworks Tacoma is a joint initiative of the City of Tacoma and the Tacoma-Pierce County Chamber of Commerce designed to activate empty storefronts and vacant space. The initiative makes no- and low-cost temporary space, training, and technical assistance available to artists, creative entrepreneurs, organizations, and community groups in order to nurture successful projects that transform Tacoma into a stronger, more active city.
