The nearly seven-acre James Center North site, located in West Tacoma, is now a combination of 1980s retail and office structures and paved parking. This area is well positioned to become a vibrant mixed-use neighborhood. In addition to affordable housing for families, seniors, and students, the site can support amenities and community resources that bring value to neighboring parcels. All of this should be based on planning for change, forming partnerships, developing a long-term strategy, and supporting long-term goals with a short-term strategy.
