Some cities remember themselves. Tacoma is still deciding what it wants to be.
The Loom is where that conversation happens.
Every edition weaves together four threads — a Tacoma memory, a practical health note, a useful AI tool, and a coffee shop conversation worth saving. One publication. Four threads. No noise.
Then & Now The buildings, streets, and decisions that shaped Tacoma — including the ones that were well-intended and badly executed. The mall built on a salmon stream. The zoning that moved the city's heart to a parking lot. The people who pushed back anyway.
Health Plain language for real life. Aging, caregiving, Parkinson's, recovery. Written for people managing something hard without a lot of help.
GenAI One simple AI tool per edition. Not hype. Not theory. Something you can actually use this week — for memory, creativity, learning, or just getting things done.
Third Place Coffee shops, community tables, QR codes by the register. The conversations Tacoma is having when nobody is recording them. Until now.
The Loom — Tacoma is published by The Grey Revolution.
