Speaking of something for everyone they even have a monument to the armed forces. An 18th century cannon from Sevilla Spain (1784).
According to my research this cannon was used in the Spanish American War and captured in 1898 in Havana Cuba. Independence Day 1900 the USS Iowa fired a sunrise salute to the people of Tacoma, the cannon fired back a greeting that day and that was the only time the cannon was fired on US soil.
After leaving Wright Park it's time to explore the Point Defiance Zoo. They had some good looking cats at the zoo. This tiger has a nice has a nice lake to hang out at.
I met these friendly penguins. They are actually on loan from SeaWorld but I hope they stay in Tacoma.
Hello fish. How are you?
