The only people who go to the Tacoma mall are the local street gangs. My wife and I lived in Bremerton, 35 miles from the mall, for 14 years. We went there 2 times. The first time was not as bad as the second. Middle of a school day and flooded with young teens. Most looked simply skipping school. Second time, it looked like a nation wide gang bang get together. I have never seen so many sideways and backwards worn baseball caps, baggy pants showing ass holes, strutting, gold chain wearing, street thugs in one place in my life. Worse than any COPS show. Gang Bang U. was what it was. We walked in, I saw this crap, zipped down my jacket for easy access to Glock, my closely worn friend. And we left immediately. We NEVER went back to that mall. It is a ghetto.

Start a rumor that a Klan rally will be held there. That should make it interesting.

“The only people who go to the Tacoma mall are the local street gangs.”

Having grown up in Tacoma, I wouln’t go so far as to say “the only people at the mall are gangs”, but yes out of all the malls in the Northwest Tacoma Mall has the highest ratio of gang members and gang wanna-be’s. Another bad one was Seatac, but it seems to have improved allot in the last few years.
