There are a number of hotels in DuPont if you'd like to stay close to our house.
Downtown Tacoma has lots to offer well. If staying in Tacoma, places along Ruston Way down on the waterfront are particularly nice, or staying at the McMenamins Elks Temple is fun with it's 5 bars/restaurants in it including a speakeasy and an eclectic tiki bar.For military affiliated friends, JBLM has multiple hotels on base. The hotels on the Lewis side of JBLM are closer to our house. The hotels on the McChord Field side are closer to the ceremony.

Both Tacoma and Olympia are about 30 minutes away from DuPont.
I've created a wander log with some of our favorite places in the area on it. I hope that it will give you some ideas of things you can do here. I'll continue to add things as I think of them.

There are many ways to get to Tacoma from SeaTac airport. This website has a list of Aeroporters and public transit options:
- Public Transport Info, SeaTac Airport
If you want to get closer to Tacoma before hiring an uber, you can take an express bus or light rail:
Express bus from Sea-Tac airport to downtown Tacoma, or Lakewood, WA (about 15 mins from our house):
- Sea-Tac Airport Bus Transportation
- 574 Express Bus Schedule - SeaTac to Tacoma/Lakewood
Link Lightrail to the Federal Way Transit Center. This is the end of the rail line, so you’ll need to catch a ride share or bus from there.
