Tacoma area index 111.1, where 100 is the national average.
Tacoma sits on Puget Sound with Mount Rainier rising dramatically to the southeast, offering nurses a Pacific Northwest lifestyle at a more approachable pace than nearby Seattle. The historic Stadium District and rustically revitalized Point Defiance Park capture the city's blend of industrial heritage and outdoor access. Commutes to Seattle are manageable when bigger-city amenities call.
