❄️Heading to Mount Rainier? A little winter travel heads up!

Planning a trip to Paradise? Starting today, October 29, nightly gate closures are in effect on the road between Longmire and Paradise ✨

🚗 Here’s what visitors need to know:

🕘 9 AM | Gate opens

⬆️ 3 PM | Uphill gate closes

⬇️ 4 PM | Downhill gate closes

Our tip? Plan to leave Paradise by 3:30 PM to give yourself plenty of time to make your way down the mountain.

🌨️ Mountain weather has a mind of its own! Road openings and closures may change due to weather or staffing, so always check current conditions before heading out

Some views just make you slow down and soak it all in 💗🏔️

Pastel skies, peaceful waters, and Mount Rainier showing off in the distance. There’s a little magic in the Pacific Northwest, and Tacoma has a front row seat to it all! ✨

Whether you’re here for a weekend getaway or just passing through, leave a little room in your plans for moments like these 😍

Trust us, the views are worth lingering for 💜

A little spooky. A little scenic. A whole lot of personality. 💀🌅

From giant skeletons to golden-hour waterfront views, Tacoma knows how to make an October entrance ✨

Just saying, fall weekends look pretty good from here 😉

It takes a village to make the South Sound shine. And we happen to have a pretty incredible one 💙

A huge thank you to Nate Jackson’s Super Funny Comedy Club for hosting this year’s Annual Meeting and giving us the perfect place to bring our tourism community together! 🎤

To our hoteliers, local businesses, community partners, stakeholders, and everyone who plays a part in making the South Sound such a special place to visit, THANK YOU!

From the warm welcomes to the unforgettable experiences, it’s the people behind the scenes who make this corner of the Pacific Northwest so special.

We couldn’t do what we do without you, and we’re pretty darn lucky to have you in our corner.

Here’s to another year of welcoming visitors, supporting our communities, and showing off everything that makes the South Sound worth the trip! ✨

Some shots belong on the scorecard…
Others belong in a frame 📸⛳😍

The Home Course in DuPont makes a strong case for bringing your clubs AND clearing your camera roll. Especially when Mount Rainier decides to make an appearance

Keep this one in mind for your next PNW golf weekend ✨

Little boots, big adventures, and a whole lot of fall magic🍂💛

Family travel in the Pacific Northwest looks a little something like this. Crisp autumn air, colorful leaves, waterfront views, and plenty of room for little explorers to roam! ✨
