Featuring Thea's Landing 

Life at Thea's Landing on Dock Street

 

I can remember the first time I visited Thea's Landing. I was 13 years old, visiting one of my BFFs, Karli. Her dad recently moved into one of the units, and I was lucky enough to join her for a sleepover. Upon arrival, I felt enamored by the experience as we were buzzed in through the front secured entrance, where I met Karli and her dad in the lobby for the obligatory parent pass-off. Our night consisted of exploring the five-story building in our sock feet, then slipping outside just after dark to take in the sights of the waterway and Tacoma Glass Museum.

 

This condo experience wasn't my last, actually far from it! Twenty years later, with a career in Real Estate, I've visited many downtown Tacoma condos. And I can confidently tell you that Thea's Landing is one of those buildings that stands out from the rest. It's an experience and lifestyle that is more than embraced by the residents. There is something special about the modern architecture, community culture, and coveted amenities.


What's not to love about the location? Perched along Dock Street in downtown Tacoma sits the sleek and modern Thea's, one of two condo buildings on the waterfront. What initially drew me, and many others, to this building is the floor-to-ceiling windows that overlook Commencement Bay, with glimpses of the Thea Foss Waterway and Tacoma's maritime history. Don't overlook the city views---especially at dusk. The soft twinkle of downtown Tacoma paints a worthy scene sure to wow. 

 

Living downtown puts you in the heart of Tacoma's action, thanks to the iconic Chihuly Bridge that is accessible minutes from your front door. What a treat to cross over and end up on Pacific Avenue with options to many restaurants, shops, museums, and theaters. It's easy to stay active and healthy here with the pedestrian-friendly streets, parks, and scenic waterfront paths steps from the building. The condo amenities provide plenty to do without leaving home. A 24/7 gym, rooftop deck with community barbecue grills and fire pits, club room with big screen TVs- it's got it all. 

 

Owner's use of the condos varies from part-time snowbirds to professionals who purchase their condo as a crash pad. The building security offers peace of mind for lock-and-go living. Of course, a fair number of residents living here full-time love the urban lifestyle or have minimized and downsized to condo life from their single family. One thing that you will hear in common from all is that they love life at Thea's.

 

We currently have a condo at Thea's for sale, unit 549. It's a beautiful loft-style penthouse with floor-to-ceiling windows. Click here for a link to the listing and all the details. For a private tour, don't hesitate to get in touch with me. I've included the details below.

STORIES FROM HOME


"From the moment we began working with Madison and Regina, we knew we were in exceptional hands. Their gracious professionalism, deep knowledge, and genuine warmth shaped every step of our journey.


Although we’ve purchased homes before, their continual updates, thoughtful explanations, and steady, patient support made us feel genuinely cared for.
When we unexpectedly lost a property due to an unethical selling agent, they stood by us with calm, unwavering professionalism.


We wholeheartedly recommend trusting this exceptional team with life’s most important real estate milestones. Their stylish eye, family‑centered spirit, and heartfelt dedication set them apart in every way. When the day comes for a new chapter and the search for our final, forever dream home, we will undoubtedly call on Madison and Regina again." E. SANDSTROM | TACOMA, WA

Your beautifully curated list of what’s worth eating, seeing + doing around Washington. Jen is one of those people who creates the vibe. She married into a family my husband and I have known for a long time, and over the years I’ve seen just how thoughtful and intentional she is. She lives in the cutest Craftsman in Central Tacoma, hosts the warmest gingerbread competition Christmas party, and her wedding week in the San Juan Islands was one of the most beautiful celebrations. She has an eye for the details that make something feel special. So it makes perfect sense that she’s completely immersed herself in the local scene with @eatinwashington . I love knowing what’s new, fun, and delicious around here. But with two kids, it’s nearly impossible to actually keep up with all of it. Jen does the heavy lifting for us. Through her lens, Eat in Washington has become a beautifully curated highlight reel of Washington’s must-eat, must-see and must-do. The new restaurant worth making a reservation for. The coffee shop you haven’t tried. A special dinner happening for one weekend. A day trip, market or stay that deserves a spot on your list. And because Jen herself is so intentional, her recommendations feel intentional too. She notices more than whether the food is good. It’s the space, service, story, lighting, people, and all the little details that create an experience. We asked Jen to give us the list.

Multigenerational Living Meets a Dream Backyard in Lakewood. There are homes with extra square footage—and then there are homes where that square footage actually gives you options. At 11409 Cloverdale Court SW in Lakewood , more than 4,100 square feet creates the kind of flexibility that is getting harder to find: room to live together without necessarily living on top of each other. And that matters because the way people use their homes is changing.

For the person who loves a moment, a beautiful table, and bringing people together— but maybe doesn’t want an entire closet dedicated to candlesticks and vintage glassware.
