Tacoma Dome Station by train

Classic cars and glass art by the water

Amtrak arrives at Tacoma Dome Station. LeMay is nearby; the Bridge of Glass is a longer walk toward the museum district. The walking allowances start at the current Amtrak station, not historic Union Station.

Times to reach each place are planning allowances from the station, not measured routes. Check directions, opening hours and accessibility before you go.
