TACOMA, Wash. -- The City of Tacoma has launched Celebrate Tacoma, a searchable database of businesses that sell directly to consumers and are licensed and located within Tacoma’s city limits. Celebrate Tacoma highlights restaurants, local retailers and service businesses that have been especially hard hit by COVID-19. 

To be included in Celebrate Tacoma, local retail, restaurant, café and service businesses are invited to participate in a brief survey. 

Businesses involved in selling guns, sexual products/services, gambling products restricted by federal law including cannabis, or tobacco products/ electronic cigarettes as well as those located outside Tacoma city limits will be unable to be featured in Celebrate Tacoma. The database is informational only and does not represent a recommendation or endorsement by the City. 

The Celebrate Tacoma database, as well as other resources supporting Tacoma’s businesses, are available at MakeitTacoma.com.

As the situation evolves, general information about the City’s response to COVID-19 will be posted on the “What’s Going On” section of the City’s website. Information about COVID-19 is available at TPCHD.org/coronavirus.
