Proctor District
In the North end of Tacoma you will find a street called Proctor. People living in the area enjoy walking to Starbucks for a cup of coffee and good conversation. The street is lined with several restaurants and quaint shops like clothing, toy and gift shops. There is even a store for pet lovers and hobby train enthusiast. If you enjoy cooking with different types of foods, the Metropolitan Market is a definite must! It is also a great place to find fabulous fresh cut flowers. One of my favorite shops is Giardini Gifts, I always find something there I haven’t seen elsewhere. The Pacific Northwest Shop is great if you are looking to give a taste of Washington. Proctor is always doing something fun to keep the community involved. I’m bummed I missed the first annual Chocolate Fest in October. The local merchants all took part in offering something with a Chocolate theme! Just writing the “C” word makes me salivate! On Halloween the streets will be filled with children all dressed up in their costumes running from store to store collecting their loot.
Houses in the Proctor district are built in the late 1800’s to early 1900’s with an average selling price of $450,000 and average square footage of 2500. The homes carry a lot of character with owners updating them in today’s style.
