American College Towns: Tacoma, WA
2019 By Kevin Clark, Joel Anderson
About the Art
Seeking to pay homage to great college towns across America, Anderson Design Group handcrafted
vintage poster art of Tacoma, Washington. The city of Tacoma, the home of UW Tacoma, rests beneath
the shadow of mighty Mt. Rainier, the tallest mountain peak in all of Washington State. A young
college which only just opened its doors in 1990, UW Tacoma has doubled its student body since 2006
and has grown into a four-year institution. Along the way, UW Tacoma revitalized the formerly
rundown Pacific Avenue corridor as well as the Tacoma downtown district. This retro artwork,
handcrafted and styled after the vintage designs of the early-1900s, would make a fantastic gift and
wall decor piece for a UW Tacoma grad or a Tacoma resident. To learn more about Tacoma or to plan a

Center.
