Getting to Know Tacoma

The Alchemists continue learning about Tacoma and how a city works. They spent over an hour Thursday morning with the Director of Economic Development, Richardo Noguera, learning about the many new projects underway in Tacoma and how they impact the economy.

In the afternoon we went to the Police Headquarters and had a tour led by two of the officers. The Alchemists saw the holding cells, the evidence lockers and met a sergeant and got to look at his equipment. But the big excitement was going in the garage to see the armored vehicles, the SWAT Team's trucks and meet the team that runs the bomb robot. They got to try on the helmet the bomb team wears and look at the robot up close and ask many questions.





We have many field studies left to go including visits to MultiCare, meetings with the City Attorney and City Council members. We are learning so much!
