So we've seen pretty much seen everything Tacoma has to offer for under $1000. And its not all pretty. Thankfully, we did manage to find a beautiful place with the most stunning view http://www.buckinghamaptstacoma.com/ We've got a 2 bed one overlooking the sound. Come stay!
what's 'the sound'? look really nice anyway - that's going to be the twee-est thing ever when the Americans ask you where you live?!
