Ruston
This little Washington village on the edge of Tacoma holds a surprising number of options for its size with a notable café and restaurant scene, several historic churches, and easy access to mountain and waterfront views. Though nearly indistinguishable from Tacoma today, Ruston retains its own municipal identity, a legacy of its origins as a company town.
