Tacoma Is Getting a New Veterinary Urgent Care Clinic
Tacoma pet owners may soon have another option when something goes wrong after their regular veterinarian has closed. PawDoc Urgent Care is planning a new veterinary urgent care and dentistry center near Tacoma Mall, with an opening targeted for January 2027.
The clinic is expected to offer urgent care during evenings and weekends from a space at Evergreen Plaza, 5225 Tacoma Mall Blvd. PawDoc is part of Kent-based Lakefield Veterinary Group and already operates an urgent-care facility in Port Orchard.

Wright Park’s Conservatory Is Getting a Fall Makeover
A burst of fall color is coming to Wright Park. The Autumn Flower Show at the W.W. Seymour Conservatory opens October 7 with sunflowers, chrysanthemums, ornamental peppers, coleus and other seasonal plants grown by the Parks Tacoma Greenhouse team.
The show runs through November 29 at the conservatory, 316 S. G St. Admission is free with a $3 suggested donation, making it an easy fall outing — especially when paired with a walk through Wright Park.

From Recycling Bin to Glass Art: Tacoma Launches New Pilot
Tacoma wants to give old glass a much more interesting second life. A new six-month pilot from the City of Tacoma and Hilltop Artists is asking residents to bring clear bottles and certain types of flat glass to the Tacoma Recycle Center, where it will be processed for use in local glass art.
Hilltop Artists students and staff will use the recycled material to create new pieces, including AMOCAT Arts Awards and locally hidden glass treasures. The pilot runs through the end of February 2027 and is testing whether Tacoma can build a more local, closed-loop system for specialty glass.
