Tacoma offers three distinctly different settings for an evening of ghost stories: Old Town’s streets, downtown’s former Whiskey Row and the maritime collections inside Foss Waterway Seaport. Start by choosing a neighborhood or a building-based experience.
The Old Town route begins at Job Carr Cabin and discusses the former Chinatown and maritime legends. Downtown storytelling follows Whiskey Row, while the seaport tour uses the former Balfour Dock warehouse to explore shipwreck stories and Commencement Bay lore.
Choose Old Town for a longer neighborhood walk, downtown for a shorter route with brewery-building stops, or Foss Waterway Seaport for an indoor museum experience. These are separate itineraries, not three names for the same outing.
Use your ticket’s meeting instructions: Job Carr Cabin, McMenamins Elks Temple and the seaport are different starting points. Beer is not included on the downtown tour, and the seaport advertises optional equipment rental.
The Haunted Tour of the Foss Waterway Seaport takes place inside the historic waterfront museum.
Pretty Gritty’s Downtown Ghost Tour was formerly called Boos and Booze; treat those names as one itinerary.
