Point Defiance is a highlight of Tacoma, accessible from Seattle with an hour's drive when the traffic is good. This 760-acre city park juts into Puget Sound on the far north tip of Tacoma, and is a popular ferry pickup and dropoff destination for trips to Vashon Island. Several city attractions dot the park, including the Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium, and over 10 miles of trails wind throughout the seaside parkland.
