Ruston & Old Town Neighborhoods / Tacoma, WA

The waterfront village of Old Town and the city of Ruston are rich with Tacoma history.
Both Ruston and Old Town are areas of Tacoma waterfront that extend beyond the more urban, downtown area of Tacoma. Neighborhoods filled with vintage homes and a commercial district rest side by side on the waterfront, and Ruston/Old Town is a place where residents go to gather for a sense of community while taking in the beauty of the Puget Sound.
Ruston and Old Town are closely interwoven, but the characteristics that set them apart are worth pointing out.
Nestled just above the Puget Sound, Ruston is steeped in history and was once home to the Asarco smelter facility. Newer urban amenities such as the Point Ruston development attract locals and tourists, and as far as housing goes, Ruston is home to a variety of architectural styles, home sizes and prices.
Right next door is the aptly named Old Town- where Tacoma’s earliest pioneers first settled down. Just along the waterfront from Downtown Tacoma, the neighborhood also provides easy access to the waterfront and Proctor District. Small shops and popular restaurants fill relaxed Old Town, and the stunning views of the Puget Sound offer quintessential Tacoma vibes.
Both Ruston and Old Town encapsulate the charm, history, growth and character of Tacoma.
