The sun is shining, it has decided to peak through the clouds after a spring rain shower. The air is chilly, and the wind is lightly blowing. A couple from not too far off is walking together hand in hand. The landscape is breathtaking as the clouds roll away and a blue sky takes over, the vibrant, yet the fierce beauty of Mt. Rainier decides to make her début. The couple stares in the direction of the mountain admiring the majestic view. She, intently takes it all in, gazing from the water to the mountain, and he turns and looks at her with a deep love and sincerity in his eyes believing in his heart that she is the only one to be admired at this moment. He then kisses her hand and drops down to one knee while pulling out a ring. This special occasion begins to be noticed by bystanders, and with big smiles; people begin to watch this moment in time unfold. This is a scene that may be spotted at Tacoma’s waterfront, a place that captivates the heart of those who visit or call it home.
