- A walking exploration of Downtown Tacoma after a cup of coffee at Anthem Coffee. This is a narrated walk. There is still snow on the ground from the snow storm several days ago, so surfaces are still slippery.
The walk includes Tacoma Bridge of Glass, Museum of Glass and UW (University of Washington) Tacoma Campus.
I took this walk after driving around in the Hilltop neighborhood of Tacoma. I may upload that video later on as well. ✌️
Below are links to the Tacoma Bridge of Glass and Museum of Glass:

A little bit about me...
My name is Dennis aka Lao Ocean (also aka Dr. Wtpho, but more about that later) and I'm a Lao American TH-camr based in Seattle, WA. Seattle has been my home since 1980. My videos and vlogs consist of walking tours in Seattle and abroad, travel, and things related to the Lao diaspora. I drink way too much coffee, eat pho 20PHO7, and also make food and food review videos. 🤓✌️

The courthouse was a train station. My grandmother used to entertain travelers by playing the piano there back in the forties or fifties.
Thanks for the info!
@@LaoOcean , thanks for showing some of my beloved Tacoma! (I am glad that you managed not to fall on the ice. 😊)
The Chihuly glass exhibit has been on my to see list forever. Amazing artwork.
IT's really amazing
Stay safe and warm out there, Dennis! Thanks for another great video.
Thanks for watching as always!
I walked that same area back in March of 2020. It was surreal. Everything was in lockdown and the only person to be seen was a homeless guy pushing a shopping cart down the middle of the Pacific Avenue.
New to your channel, love it! I am a Washington resident for the past 20 years, currently in the South Sound area, and I LOVE Washington State!! You have a great outlook on humanity, geography, and business. Thank you for your walking tours, especially when I can not get to Seattle. Please don't mind the critics, and continue the content. Happy New Year!!
Thank you for watching and happy new year!!
Ruston/Tacoma waterfront area is beautiful, you should do a video there. 😊
thanks for another video!
Yeah I drove along Ruston afterwards. Super nice there!
I almost fell on my mouth (with coffee in hand) a few times in this video. Let me know in the comments if you want me to slip and fall 🥶😂.
Also did a cruise through Tacoma’s Hilltop area. That video may follow. ✌️
No I don't want to see you slip and fall , I don't want to see you get hurt , I like you and enjoy your videos 🥰💕
Highly entertaining and very funny video...I love it! Keep walking and talking please!
I’ll do my best 😅😂✌️
Seeing the art area with snow-cool!
Great sharing ☺️ love from Hong Kong
Thank you! Near where I live! ( Lakewood, used to be Tacoma until we became a city) our daughters first place after she graduated from a western was the condo Theos landing right next to the Gllass museum ( she rented) I love your walking videos! Thank you for sharing ❤️
Great angles!!! Amazing quality!!! Sweet t life! :)
I live in Tacoma, just up the hill off Pac Ave. I did not remember that we had snow this year in January!! Anyway, this is my favorite hangout(museums) on a sunny day.
I always enjoy your videos. They’re very relaxing.
Thanks for watching?
This is beautiful! What a great video.
Hey Dennis, discovered your channel a week or so ago looking for snow videos and stumbled on your Seattle blizzard video from earlier in the month. Since then been catching up on your walking and driving videos, and have been enjoying the content. Take care, and keep up the good work.
Tacoma has cleaned up a lot steadily over the years. It's hard to shake a bad reputation but they're getting there.
Not really. Drive down Pacific, Port of Tacoma Road, River Road...shitholes all along those roads.
Sabaidee brother..🙏🏽🙏🏽 omg luv these videos !! We finally got our first so called snow storm 🌨 today I. Nj & Ny here .be safe out there .. keep up the great work !! Buddha bless 🙏🏽🙏🏽🥰
Sabaidee! Thanks for watching and welcome back to my adventures and channel! 😂✌️
SILLINESS IS GOOD!!🤗☃️
Another good vlog
When you said serenity Mr. Dennis, couldn't help but remember the Seinfeld show.... Serenity now! Serenity now!
😅😂🤣
Never been Chewy's in Tacompton. Thanks for the tour.
Great video! Traveled to Tacoma several times to work on the TOTE ships located at 500 Alexander Ave. Also…ventured out to many pubs in the area;-). Thanks again for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
Ski poles??
I thought there is an elevator from bridge to street level? Less likely to slip on snow/ice. But fun video, nostalgic, might head there this year. Thanks
Will look for that elevator when I visit again 😂
Another interesting video. Should be renamed "Chihuly Sheet of Glass Bridge." Sorry to say Dennis I did watch in case you slipped over, thankfully you didn't.😟✌☕
Love it
Show Chihuly work in the ceiling Please!
Will need to return when snow is gone. Too slippery.
Wow, still lot's of snow left.
I love the long videos and please don't fall down those stairs ... You already got one crack on your butt. 😁😎
😅😂🤣
Nice Video !
Great video. I actually like the longer videos. I settle in and observe with you making note of things along the way. If you haven’t already, check out a TH-camr called “The Walking Commuter” who does walking tours of NYC. Somehow he manages to field questions from viewers as he walks. I mention this because it would be amazing if you were able to do something similar. I loved the video with Keoke and we need a part 2. I met Keoke back in 95 when we both worked for SeaFirst Bank Customer service. Years later we both worked at UW. Thanks for the videos. I’d love to move back to Seattle one day and you help me make sense of how things are now. Be well!!!!!
Thank you and I’ll look this guy up. The walking TH-camr from NY I see is Action Kid. He walks everywhere, all day everyday. 😂

@@stevenoliver7613 oh yeah this guy does live streaming that’s why he’s able to answer questions
👍👍👍😁
I live here in Tacoma 10 minutes away from downtown.
Would love to see that museum! We have one of his pieces in the Joslyn museum in Omaha. Beautiful. Does Tacoma still have a bad smell to it? Never liked going through there because of the smell, think it might have been a paper mill?
No... not really in decades.
At 18 min it was a train station. Wish they would have kept it as such instead of it all being in the Dome District.
we have been there multiple times that was 15 years ago. Now I just drove by every day to drop my kids off at school.
Ah, Mr. Ocean... You put comedy and philosophy in the same video... Thanks man...
Answer to your Question - I call "W" double "U"...
😂
With all the ice, that is a death trap. But you walked over the Bridge of Glass and didn't show the glass!
I was ready to say it looks slippery, I watched as I ate my dinner, Japanese mushroom ramen, garlic bread. How long you live in the states?
Since 1980
The Tacoma dome is the largest WOODEN dome structure in the world
That’s awesome.
We refer to it as U dub.
Ah yeah that’s right 👍
Publish the newer hilltop video and we personally enjoy shorter videos. 😉
coffee sleeve should read "live Loa"
😅😂👍✌️
Tacoma Aroma ?
You get it every now and then But not like 20 years ago ! We used to complain about it and my Dad said it smells like jobs !! Lol true .
That's been pretty well cleared up, I think. Used to be you could tell you were in Tacoma even with your eyes closed, the pulp mill stench was so bad. (That was back in the sixties and seventies). 100% better now.
I used to smell the aroma each and every time I would visit back in the day. Doesn’t seem to be the case these days.
Ladies, find you a husband who hugs you like Lao Ocean hugs that rail.
😅😂🤣
“…Tacoma 1-2-22”
Good catch and thx!
No, Tacoma is not Seattle! And hopefully never will be!
