Located in the heart of Tacoma, nestled just below Opera Alley, exists the historic Antique Row. For over 40 years, Antique Row has served as a hub for second-hand shoppers, collectors, and first-time business owners alike. 

From vintage 1930s Ray-Ban Aviators and memorabilia from your favorite 80s/90s television series to a sarcophagus (not an exaggeration), Antique Row has everything you may or may not need. 

Make sure you have your ORCA card and a good pair of walking shoes to discover what awaits on the Row!
