Proctor / North Tacoma

A lively community with a friendly, small-town vibe.

One of the most charming districts in Tacoma, the historic Proctor neighborhood is like its very own little town within a larger city. Residents love how easy it is to walk to grocery stores, coffee shops, restaurants, boutiques and other locally owned businesses, and it’s a great spot to meet up with friends (and make new ones!) for a relaxing day of exploring.

Just down the street from Proctor is the University of Puget Sound, a small liberal arts college nestled within a residential neighborhood. The well-maintained campus—with its many paths, trees, and classic brick buildings—is open to the public, so whether you’re walking the dog or interested in attending a concert or lecture, the university is rife with opportunity!

The Proctor/UPS neighborhood is a popular choice for those looking for homes built from 1910 to 1950. Many also seek out the area due to its convenience: the neighborhood is simply a brief 10-minute drive to Downtown Tacoma, Interstate 5, or Gig Harbor.

HISTORY The historic area is home to the Blue Mouse Theatre and Chalet Bowl, the oldest bowling alley in operation in Washington.

SHOPPING Locals go grocery shopping at Safeway, Metropolitan Market, and enjoy an excellent farmers market during the spring and summer months.

TAKE A WALK Walkable and filled with variety, Proctor’s business district is home to locally owned businesses and some fantastic restaurants.
