About Myhomeeverydaytacoma
Our Journey and Mission
Myhomeeverydaytacoma was founded in 2017 with a vision to become the go-to online resource for Tacoma, Washington, and its surrounding communities. We started as a passion project driven by our love for this vibrant city and the desire to fill an information gap in the local news landscape. Over the years, we’ve grown into a dedicated team of journalists and content creators who call Tacoma home.
Our journey began with the realization that while there were numerous national and even regional news outlets, there was a distinct lack of hyper-local content that truly captured the spirit of Tacoma. We set out to change that by creating a platform that showcases the unique stories, events, and everyday life of our city.

Bridging the Information Gap
The internet has transformed how we access news and information, but there remained a significant gap in local coverage. National media often overlooks the unique stories that make cities like Tacoma special. We identified this as an opportunity to create a platform dedicated to shining a light on the daily lives, struggles, and triumphs of our community. By focusing on what makes Tacoma tick, we aim to foster a deeper connection between residents and their city.
