thrice all american: Almost A Tacoma Filming Location Weekend

Almost A Tacoma Filming Location Weekend

· Posted Monday October 2, 2006 by jamie

Well, we missed a big opportunity here. I take one day off from reading the paper and manage to miss out on the fact that the Pierce County Tour of Remodeled Homes was happening on Saturday and Sunday of this weekend. We’ve enjoyed the tour several of the past years. Some of the remodels don’t appeal to us, but there’s always at least a couple of cool older homes on the tour that can provide some good inspiration. This year on the tour, I found out as I was reading Friday’s paper on Sunday afternoon, one of the featured homes was the house on North Junett used in 10 Things I Hate About You. Sure, maybe the house on Yakima used for The Hand That Rocks The Cradle might have been cooler to visit, but I’m sorry to have missed the opportunity to check out one of the “famous” houses of Tacoma. (If anyone out there did check out any of the tour, please share in the comments!)

We did make it to at least one Tacoma filming location this weekend, when we went to see our very own PLU Lutes football team mount a stunning come-from-behind victory over UPS at the Loggers’ Baker Stadium, which stood in for University of Oregon’s Hayward Stadium in Prefontaine. It was standing room only, as it was the UPS homecoming game and the small visitors section was more than full from the large crosstown contingent. Good game all around. Attaway, Lutes!

Sounds like if we’d planned it right, we could have hit just a couple of more sites to call it a Tacoma movie weekend. Maybe the Tully’s in the Bostwick Building used in I Love You To Death, the W.W. Seymour Botanical Conservatory used in The Hand That Rocks The Cradle, etc… Oh well. Maybe next time.
