Tacoma to get an Apple Retail Store

It appears that a new Apple Retail Store is opening up in the Tacoma Mall.

I always thought it was funny that since I have a few Apple adds on my real estate website, my page comes up up in the first few web results on google for "tacoma apple stores", "tacoma washington apple stores" etc. I usually get a few hits from those keywords every month.

Now I am guessing eventually the search results will lean more towards the new store.

That's awesome.

That means someone, somewhere in the lean, mean, Apple machine has made the decision "Tacoma is somewhere"; somewhere that needs an Apple retail. Let's all rejoice. Let's all pray. Pray that Apple will also be known for wise business decisions AND great aesthetic design.

How soon can it open? I'm having some mini-DVI port issues on my MacBook and don't wanna drive to frickin' Westefielde Shoppingtowne Southcentre.

@ThriceAllAmerican - The folks at the MacStore (not to be confused with the Apple Store) in Kent might be able to help you with your DVI port.

Anybody remember Quantum Computer out on Tacoma Mall Blvd. in the late 80s and early 90s That's where we'd go to buy apple computers back then. Cleaning out the garage a couple of years ago I came across the box my Quadra 800 came in with the price tag still attached.... $4,999

I remember Quantum, yes I do. I also got some of my early macs there. I see it, in my mind's eye every time I pass by it on the freeway. Good times at Quantum.

Dawn,

Thanks for making me laugh.
You and the HOLY HOT POPCORN FARTS!

I really needed the laugh right now.

Thanks for putting a smile on my face.

This is why I love FeedTacoma.

Nice scoop Jake!

It looks like the TNT is still in denial that feedTacoma exists: blogs.thenewstribune.com/business/2008/1...
