WHY FUSS? |

Don't want to miss the spectacular Tacoma Freedom Fair this Fourth of July, but don't want to drive? Why worry about where to park and how far you'll have to walk to attend Tacoma's annual Independence Day celebration on the Ruston Way waterfront. The Pierce Transit Fourth of July Express Service is the best way to arrive, and so easy to use. Just park free at one of the designated Park-n-Ride lots and ride the bus to the main entrance of the Freedom Fair at North 30th and McCarver Street in Old Town Tacoma.
